Free Webinar to Assist Members Affected by Floods & Other Disasters Posted by AVCU on 10:44 AM

A free national webinar to assist victims of natural disasters will be sponsored this Thursday at 12 p.m by the CU Association of the Dakotas. Titled “In the Face of Disaster”, the event will bring together a national panel of speakers who have direct experience with credit union disaster recovery efforts. The goal of the webinar is to educate and inform credit unions in three specific areas:

1. How can credit unions guide and direct members to FEMA resources?
2. What types of FEMA loans can credit unions offer to members who are rebuilding?
3. What type of risk model should credit unions use to anticipate loan defaults?

The webinar panel includes credit union executives with experience dealing with natural disasters (related to storm, wind and water damage) such as Hurricane Katrina, as well as professionals with more than 20 years of experience in the field of disaster planning, mitigations and recovery. Speakers include:

• Dawn Harris, EVP-COO of Campus Federal Credit Union in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
• Dave Mistick, President of Circumspex, a disaster recovery expert and consultant
• Amy Johnson, Director of Learning, Credit Union Association of the Dakotas
