AACUC is hosting a conversation at 12 p.m. ET today with CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle – who will lead America’s Credit Unions should members of CUNA and NAFCU approve the proposed merger – and NAFCU President/CEO Dan Berger. Maurice Smith, former chair of AACUC, will moderate the conversation.

Gary Grinnell and Lisa Ginter, chairs of the NAFCU and CUNA Boards of Directors, respectively, spoke with CUToday to share insights into the proposed merger and address questions related to America’s Credit Unions.

CUNA joined the African-American Credit Union Coalition, Inclusiv, the National Association of Latino Credit Unions and Professionals, Leagues, and credit unions to offer suggestions on how NCUA can best support Minority Depository Institution (MDI) credit unions. NCUA proposed revisions to its interpretive ruling and policy statement on the MDI program at its June board meeting.

CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle sent a message to members after the vote on the proposed merger with NAFCU opened pledging that “America’s Credit Unions will serve you.” The member vote will be open until 5 p.m. ET Nov. 1.
