NASCUS is pleased to offer the next session in our complimentary member webinar series, featuring Nicole Turner from the Culture Pro

With the NCUA’s final rule on succession planning taking effect January 1, 2026, credit unions are required to have a written plan that ensures leadership continuity and organizational stability. But effective succession planning is more than a compliance exercise, it’s a strategic imperative.

In this 60-minute webinar, participants will gain a clear understanding of what succession planning is, why it’s essential for credit unions, and how to build a process that aligns with both regulatory requirements and long-term strategic goals. Through practical guidance and discussion, attendees will learn how to interpret and incorporate the NCUA’s final rule into a framework that prepares their credit union for the future.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Define succession planning and explain its importance to organizational continuity, stability, and member trust in credit unions.
• Understand the key components and process for developing an effective succession plan tailored to a credit union’s size and complexity.
• Interpret the NCUA’s final rule on succession planning and identify its implications for FICUs and FISCUs.
• Incorporate regulatory requirements into a strategic, actionable succession planning framework that supports leadership development and long-term sustainability.
