Join your credit union peers and make sure you know how to file your report smoothly. This webinar will also help you be prepared for Fair Lending Exams.

Topics & Objectives:

• Learn what information must be included in your report

Just like in face-to-face classes, CUNA Webinars allow you to see and hear a presentation, ask questions of the instructor, and refer to handouts. You need only a speakerphone and computer with Internet connection. With a computer projection screen, it's easy to provide this training to a whole roomful of staff! When you register for an event, the connection information will be e-mailed to you 24-48 hours before the event. If you are registering for an event the day it is being held, please call 800-356-9655, ext. 4249 or e-mail training@cuna.coop for assistance.

CUNA Webinars use Adobe Connect to provide an interactive and convenient online learning environment. Whether you are a first time Adobe Connect user, or simply need a refresher, take a short tour. You'll learn how to effectively interact with the presenter and your peers during live webinars.
