What It Means If NCUA Asks To Meet With Your Board Without You

Episode Summary:
In this episode of With Flying Colors, Mark Treichel, along with industry experts Steve Farrar and Todd Miller, discuss a growing trend—NCUA requesting private meetings with credit union boards. What does it mean when regulators ask to meet without management present? Should boards be concerned? And how should they prepare?

With decades of NCUA experience, Steve and Todd share insights into:
✅ Common reasons why NCUA requests board-only meetings
