NCUA is partnering with the AARP and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to host a webinar that addresses how society views and talks about financial crimes against older adults In recognition of Older Americans Month. The free webinar is titled “Reframe the Shame: A Conversation About Financial Crimes Against Older Adults” and will be held on May 18, starting at 1 p.m. ET.
