5th Annual CDFI Credit Union Roundtable at GAC 

The National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions, the leading advocate for credit unions serving low- and moderate-income consumers and underserved communities, invites you to the 5th annual CDFI Certified Credit Union Roundtable at this year's GAC.  

The CDFI certified credit union industry is growing! With 265 CDFI certified credit unions and collective assets of more than $45 billion, CDFI credit unions provide services to more than 5.5 million primarily low-income consumers. These institutions aren't defined by asset size or FOM, but by their commitment to financial inclusion and community development. 

Join us February 22 at the Federation's 5th Annual CDFI Roundtable and learn about new developments at the CDFI Fund, 2016 funding levels, and the value that CDFI certification provides to our industry, particularly around advocacy and community impact. Hear from industry leaders from the US Department of the Treasury, the CDFI Fund, NCUA and the Federation.

Keynote Speakers: Jessica Milano, Annie Donovan and William Myers
