CRA and Fair Lending Conference 2019 | New Jersey Bankers Association | 27 March 2019 | Kean NJCSTM/STEM Building, 1075 Morris Ave, Union, NJ 07083, USA

Join industry regulators and the nation’s leading CRA expert, Kenneth Thomas, and learn what your bank can expect with the current reform of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and related Fair Lending laws. Changes have been proposed in the CRA rating mechanism, the delineation of the appropriate “Assessment Area” in a digital environment, the definition of community development activities, and many other important areas that will likely impact your bank as it prepares for its next CRA exam.

In addition, changes in the leadership of the CFPB, the Department of Justice, and federal bank regulators will likely affect the current fair lending environment, including the controversial disparate impact doctrine and regulatory “REMA” (Regulatory Expected Market Area) definition. All bankers need to be updated on these and related fair lending topics.

Join us for an important discussion about the changes to these programs, regulator expectations, and best practices with the pending CRA reform efforts. A highly interactive discussion will follow (without regulators present) on these regulations. Register today!
