LAS VEGAS -- Governance took center stage during a session that featured three international regulators.

LAS VEGAS — Governance took center stage during a session that featured three international regulators: Deposit Insurance Corporate of Ontario President/CEO Andy Poprawa, NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland and Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority Executive General Manager Brandon Khoo.

He thinks the trend will continue, and it speaks to some of the issues faced by Canadian and U.S. credit unions, which sometimes struggle to find board members who possess the right skill sets, experience and expertise.
