Financial counselors are often on the front lines of helping members navigate financial challenges, but knowing where to connect them for additional support can make an even greater impact. This panel brings together representatives from the Maryland Office of Financial Regulation and the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB) to explore public-sector resources, workforce development opportunities, and community programs available to members throughout Maryland and Washington, DC.
The conversation will focus on practical ways financial counselors can connect members to trusted resources that support financial stability, career advancement, consumer protection, and long-term financial opportunity. Panelists will also discuss opportunities for credit unions to strengthen community engagement and build connections with public-sector programs, giving attendees strategies and resources they can put into practice immediately.
