Overhauled for 2021 - the Fair Lending Virtual Workshop is back! No more 8-hour revisit of the law or regulations. (We suggest reading the ECOA, HMDA, and FHA compliance manuals before attending this workshop.) This year, application of fair lending law to real-world situations will be the focus and address today's trending issues and questions such as:

• Did you consider fair lending when you offered PPP or EIDL?
• Did your home mortgage approvals and members refi's increase because of the low interest rates?
• Did you consider your fair lending policies and procedures when making loans during COVID-19?

Join us to hear the latest on compliance management and how the pandemic might affect your fair lending examination. Speakers from Sweatism Consulting LLC, ViClarity (formerly PolicyWorks LLC), and ComplianceTech will be back to share the latest in trending fair lending hot topics, examination priorities, and compliance management.

This interactive virtual workshop format provides opportunities to discuss with your peers and our fair lending experts a variety of topics that fall under fair lending and how we incorporate these important lending requirements into credit union policies, procedures, and day-to-day operations.

• Understanding impact of fair lending along the entire lifecycle of the loan
• Identifying demographics of lending areas
• Monitoring all prohibited basis groups
• HMDA data accuracy and reporting
• What questions belong in a fair lending risk assessment?
• How does my credit union compare to peers; and who are my lending peers?
• Does a change in administration increase regulatory scrutiny and what examiners are reviewing now?

Fair lending applies to more than just home mortgages, so regardless of whether you are a HMDA-reporter or not, you need up-to-the minute information and training from industry experts to help ensure your fair lending program and practices meet (and perhaps exceed!) regulatory expectations. Credit union staff will find value in attending this workshop, especially loan originators, underwriters and servicers; compliance staff; internal auditors; senior management and board members.
