Matz to Keynote Pennsylvania’s
Small Credit Union Conference
Survival of Small CUs a Key Topic October 16 in Harrisburg
Oct. 14, 2004, Harrisburg, Pa. – In the keynote address to the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association’s Credit Union Development Conference, NCUA Board Member Debbie Matz will engage credit union officials in a discussion of ways that small credit unions can not only survive, but thrive in the future:
Who: NCUA Board Member Debbie Matz
What: Credit Union Development Conference for credit unions with assets up to $10 million
Where: Wyndham Hotel Harrisburg - Hershey, 4650 Lindle Rd., Harrisburg, Pa.
When: Saturday, Oct. 16, 9:15 – 10:30 AM
Why: “Small credit unions are vitally important to the entire credit union community,” Matz explains. “Small credit unions tend to be located in neighborhoods where there are no other insured financial institutions; they provide alternatives to predatory lenders; they serve people of modest means; and they are the icon of credit unions for some state and federal legislators who may be thinking about taxing credit unions. If we all recognize the importance of small credit unions, we can work together on initiatives to keep more small credit unions alive and thriving.”
To attend, contact the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association at 1-800-932-0661.
