LCUL Submits Comment Letter to NCUA Re: Supervisory Committee Audits and Verifications
NCUAIn February, the NCUA Board approved a proposed rule amending the supervisory committee audit regulation for federally insured credit unions, and issued a notice of further comment.

We believe that this proposal is a step in the right direction and will, hopefully generate more analysis within the agency for ways NCUA can make the audit process more reasonable for credit unions without sacrificing safety and soundness in any way. However, we do have a concern about the potential for unintended consequences that could result from including in the proposed Appendix A the ability of the Supervisory Committee to question the pay of staff or board members.

Campus Federal Wins CUNA Diamond Award
Campus Federal was honored with a Diamond Award that recognizes outstanding marketing and business development achievements in the credit union industry.  Campus Federal won in the category of complete campaign for their recent auto loan campaign.
 
The award was presented by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Marketing & Business Development Council, a national network comprised of over 1,300 credit union marketing and business development professionals. Awards are given in each of 36 categories ranging from advertising to community events and more.
 
Campus Federal won the Diamond Award for its entry, entitled, "Get Pre-Approved. Get Going!" targeting two sets of members and potential members, either in the market to purchase a new auto or first time auto buyers looking to make their first auto purchase while still in the credit building phase of their financial journey.
 
"The hard work displayed by these credit unions always leaves us feeling inspired and passionate about what we do," said Amy McGraw, Chair of the CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council's Diamond Awards Committee and VP Marketing, Tropical Financial CU. "Receiving this award further highlights the dedication they have for our movement and their members."
 
Award winners were recognized at the council's 26th annual conference held March 20-23 in Las Vegas.
