2018 NAFCU Board elections begin
NAFCU's 2018 board election cycle is now open with five director positions available – three at-large positions and one position each for Regions I and II. All incumbents have indicated their intent to seek re-election.
An email to NAFCU members today will include information on how to access the candidate application.
At-Large Director Debra Schwartz (Mission Federal Credit Union, San Diego, Calif.) and At-Large Director Robert Fisher (Grow Financial Federal Credit Union, Tampa, Fla.) are running again for three-year terms.
At-Large Director Jim Kenyon (Whitefish Credit Union, Whitefish, Mont.) is running for a two-year term.
Region I Director Gary Grinnell (Corning Federal Credit Union, Corning, N.Y.) is running for a three-year term and Region II Director Brian Schools (Chartway Federal Credit Union, Virginia Beach, Va.) is running for a one-year term.
There are two ways to be nominated for any of the five open NAFCU Board seats: complete and submit a candidate application to the Nominating Committee; or, by petition, obtaining at least five valid nominating ballots from NAFCU members.
Candidate applications are due to the committee March 12. Nominating ballots, which will go out April 4, must be returned by April 18. Official ballots for voting in both the at-large and regional elections will be sent April 25.

As community-oriented organizations, credit unions more than most feel a responsibility for the well-being of their members, employees and volunteers. This webinar, Avoiding and Resolving Harassment Claims: A Primer for Board Members provides both an introduction to the subject for board members, as well as selected deep dives on particular issues of interest to credit union volunteer boards. Key Takeaways Learn to identify the hallmarks of a situation in which it is appropriate for the board to become involved, as opposed to permitting effective resolution through normal human resources procedures Recognize the breadth of current law governing harassment claims, including newly prominent protected categories, the nature and severity of conduct which may constitute harassment, and the fact that conduct that may not rise to the level of a state or federal law civil rights violation may still violate the credit union’s own internal policies, procedures, and ideals, and be subject to appropriate discipline and remedial action Discover appropriate oversight roles for board officers, committee members including supervisory committee members, and other Board members, particularly in the context of passing along a report or complaint of harassment or inappropriate conduct Register Now$295 Members | $395 Nonmembers (Additional $50 for USB)One registration gives your entire team access to the live webinar and on-demand recording until June 6, 2024.Go to the Online Training Center to access the webinar after purchase » Who Should Attend Board of director titles NCVEs and volunteer titles HR titles Education Credits NCVEs will receive 1.0 CEUs for participating in this webinar Web NAFCU digital@nafcu.org America/New_York public

Anyone that has been doing this for a while forms a network of trusted advisors and we all go to each other anytime we come across some new or complex case. [02:50] Scams have always been around but the emergence of AI has made them far more sophisticated than we have ever seen before. [05:55] Person-to-person payment apps like Zelle, Venmo, and CashApp are not protected like debit and credit cards. [08:30] Every single time that new technology comes out that makes our lives better, fraudsters will find a way to exploit it. The current state of cyber fraud points credit unions in a lose-lose situation. [20:04] By identifying the information at one credit union and getting it out to others they are getting ahead of these threats. [22:19] Fraud Fusion Centers are critical. Formalize it and make it happen. Web NAFCU digital@nafcu.org America/New_York public
