The phrase, “If history is any guide…” has kind of flown out the window in recent weeks. With that being said, we are absolutely excited to finally get the mind of Henry Meier, Esq. on the podcast to discuss credit union issues from a legal perspective.
As former Senior Vice President and General Counsel at the New York Credit Union Association and now running his own practice, The Law Office of Henry Meier, Esq., has been a well-known figure in the credit union space for years and he writes commentaries concerning regulatory and compliance issues for CU Times. In short, he’s incredibly smart and we love him.
Meier and the gang talk about these early days of NCUA Chairman Kyle Hauptman’s term and how he’s re-framed the tone of the agency. Meier welcomes this change and walks us through some potential paths Hauptman could follow as NCUA’s leader.
We discuss the NCUA’s Succession Planning Rule and how it might not be particularly meaningful to help credit unions stay alive.
Meier gets us into the weeds, in the best way possible, about the Illinois Interchange Fee law and lawsuits filed by America’s Credit Unions.
Meier calls this time we are in as “unique” and we couldn’t agree more.
Listen up and learn from Henry Meier, Esq. on this episode.
