Larry Fazio, director of the NCUA Office of Examination and Insurance, held a session on the modernization of the examination process where he discussed the NCUA's new examination requirements, including participation loans, liquidity, CUSO and mortgage rules.

President/CEO Stewart Ramsey of the $1.2 billion Pen Air Federal Credit Union in Pensacola, Fla. discussed the NCUA's risk-based capital proposal with CU Times Washington Reporter Nicholas Ballasy.

“There's still a lot of things unknown and there still appears to be some challenges with having voices heard,” he said of the rule.

The Credit Union Economic Group sponsored a panel discussion that featured from left to right, Fred Eisel, SVP/CIO at First Carolina Corporate Credit Union, Scott D. Knapp, director of investment strategy at CUNA Mutual Group and John Worth, chief economist at the NCUA. Curt Long, senior economist at NAFCU, was also part of the panel but is not shown. The group encouraged credit unions to develop a strong liquidity policy.
