“The NCUA maintains its steadfast commitment to transparency as we prepare and develop the agency’s 2005 budget,” said NCUA Chairman JoAnn Johnson. “We value the input from those we regulate and insure, as NCUA’s budget has an impact on credit unions. Looking forward to the opportunities and challenges of 2005, we once again welcome the opportunity to share NCUA’s budget plans and hear from our stakeholders. I believe it is vital for NCUA’s stakeholders to have an open, complete view of the proposed budget.”
