(June 11, 2021) Marijuana and hemp are the subjects of a three-day virtual conference, sponsored by NASCUS, which wraps up today after delving into a wide variety of subjects about offering financial services in the fast-developing industry.
More than two dozen speakers are featured at the event (including NCUA Board Member Rodney Hood), which kicked off Wednesday, and looked at recent regulatory updates, how business is evolving in the space, details of cannabis and hemp banking programs at credit unions, and business payments.
The event was led by Deirdra O’Gorman, founding and principal of DX Consulting, a Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) consulting firm for cannabis banking.
Specific sessions looked at cash logistics and onsite compliance in cannabis business solutions, building sustainable cannabis business in a regulated environment, lending, NCUA guidance (with Tim Segerson, deputy director of the agency’s office of examination and insurance), hemp rules from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and a regulator’s perspective on exam programs (featuring NASCUS Vice Chairman Janet Powell, chief of regulation and supervision – credit unions, Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services).
Videos of key sessions from the event are posted on the NASCUS website, available to registered attendees of the program.

NASCUS Marijuana & Hemp eSchool
(April 30, 2021) NASCUS opens its human resources (HR) webinar series in May, setting the stage for even more events in June on issues related to marijuana and hemp those facing senior examiners from supervisory agencies.
The HR webinar series, which begins May 19, features Diane Pape Reed, president of CUDoctor, a full-service consultancy and training company. She is also co-founder of the annual CUNA Human Resources Compliance Certification School and was VP of Sales and Administration for a mid-sized Credit Union for 10+ years.
In the May 19 session, Reed will focus on building team trust and managing remote employees. In a May 26 session, she will highlight common remote management missteps and how managers can avoid them.
Both virtual sessions are one-hour long and begin at 2 p.m. ET.
In June, NASCUS plans two events: a three-day virtual school on marijuana and hemp issues, and its senior examiner forum.
The June 9-11 Marijuana and Hemp eSchool looks at recent regulatory updates, how businesses are evolving in the sector, what financial institutions should be considering in developing their own cannabis and hemp banking programs, and business payments (among other things).
The virtual e-school is led by Deirdra O’Gorman, founder and principal of DX Consulting. Since 2015, she has also served as CEO of The Fourth Corner Credit Union (4CCU), the first credit union chartered in more than 10 years in the state of Colorado.
Earlier in the month, on June 2, NASCUS holds its senior examiner forum (from 1:30-3:30 p.m. ET). The session focuses on confidential, but frank, dialogue on such issues as the new MERIT exam program, virtual examinations, cybersecurity, secondary capital and more.
