Hood Discusses the State of Credit Unions; Calls
for Greater Diversity, Inclusion

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (July 29, 2020) – The COVID-19 pandemic and the national dialogue on the issues of diversity, equity and inclusion provide credit unions with an enormous opportunity to rise to the occasion to support their communities and members, National Credit Union Administration Chairman Rodney E.

Hood delivered the keynote address at the 43rd Credit Union Leadership Convention. His remarks, which were delivered virtually, are available on the NCUA’s website.
