Federal financial industry regulators will jointly host the first-ever Financial Regulatory Agencies’ Diversity and Inclusion Summit Sept. 13 in New York City, the federal agency that regulates credit unions said in an email announcement Monday.
The summit, to be held from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (33 Liberty St.), is being hosted jointly by the Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWIs) for the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board (Fed), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In its email announcement, NCUA said the summit will address leading industry practices and include remarks from financial institution representatives and participating regulators. Participants, it said, will be able to meet the regulators’ OMWI directors and receive updates on implementation of the Joint Standards for Assessing Diversity Policies and Practices, developed pursuant to Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank).
NCUA also notes that Adrienne Collier, diversity program manager for ESL Federal Credit Union, will discuss leading diversity practices.
The notice encourages registration by Aug. 30. Online registration is open here. There is no charge to attend.
