WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will host two workshops at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in New Orleans, March 3-4, for directors of national community banks and federal savings associations supervised by the OCC.

The Credit Risk workshop on March 3 focuses on credit risk within the loan portfolio, such as identifying trends and recognizing problems. The workshop also covers the roles of the board and management, how to stay informed of changes in credit risk, and how to effect change.

The Operational Risk workshop on March 4 focuses on the key components of operational risk—people, processes, and systems. The workshop also covers governance, third-party risk, vendor management, and cybersecurity.

The workshop fee is $99 and open to directors of national community banks and federal savings associations supervised by the OCC. Participants receive course materials and assorted supervisory publications. The workshop is limited to the first 35 registrants.

The workshop is one of 30 offered nationwide to enhance and expand the skills of national community bank and federal savings association directors. To register for this workshop, visit www.occ.gov/occworkshops.
