SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- NCUA Vice Chairman Rodney Hood brought his message of how the viability of business services can impact credit unions to WesCorp and Business Partners LLC's Participation & Business Lending Symposium.

The conference, themed, "Think Big," focused upon the other side of the profitable equation and addressed issues regarding business real estate, small business and Small Business Administration lending as well as economic trends and their impact on credit unions.

Hood pointed out that the timing of this conference was important as it strategically coincided with National Small Business Week.

"This conference is an important time to honor small business owners and workers for their important role in ensuring that America remains the economic leader of the world," Hood said. "As your regulator, it is my priority to provide you with a regulatory framework whereby you have the flexibility and empowerment to provide affordable capital to your member-owners."

Hood announced that he will be hosting a Webinar to assist rural credit unions in receiving member business loan guarantees from the United States Department of Agriculture.
