July 29, 2003, Alexandria, Va. – The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) released the agenda and free registration today for “Member Business Lending: A PALS Workshop for Credit Unions,” to be held Oct. 16 in Washington, D.C. Both the agenda and on-line registration form are located on the agency’s website at www.ncua.gov.

The information-packed agenda includes presentations on credit union experiences with successful member business loan programs, managing business lending legal requirements, minimizing the risk, and taking advantage of partnering and support opportunities.

This free workshop is part of NCUA’s Partnering and Leadership Successes (PALS) initiative. Co-hosts include the Credit Union National Association and the DC, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania Credit Union Leagues.

This workshop has limited seating with participation limited to the first 100 to register. Visit www.ncua.gov for the agenda and registration. For more information, contact NCUA at 703-518-6610 or ocudmail@ncua.gov.

The National Credit Union Administration, governed by a three-member board appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, is the independent federal agency that regulates, charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA, with the backing of the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, insuring the savings of more than 80 million account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions.
