Joann Johnson Quotations

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the current litigation, NCUA would be derelict if it did not take the action it takes today.

I was especially pleased to see the commitment of credit union officials to help their members and communities with special check-cashing services and lending considerations. NCUA is working closely with all affected credit unions to ensure they have the necessary resources to achieve and maintain safe and sound operational status going forward. We encourage credit unions to evaluate the benefits of joining a shared branching network, because many of the credit unions that were able to regain operations and serve their members, were able to do so through shared branching.

It is a nice location and a nice time of the year, but I think anytime you deal with a car show in town, it has more appeal than one that might be in a park.

We wanted to come here to remember those who died.

Credit union officials have done an outstanding job in working to ensure their operations are regaining full strength,

devastation is vast and unimaginable; the positive, 'can-do' spirit among the people was absolutely remarkable. The vision to overcome a heart-wrenching experience is alive and well with the wonderful people of South Mississippi.

This is the first time we've had a full slate in several years. And I think all of the Republican candidates are well qualified for their positions.

This lawsuit has served to bring into clear focus several issues regarding our regulatory procedures, particularly the need for full and fair disclosures to members. NCUA will continue to evaluate our regulations and processes to make certain that we satisfy our congressional mandate to administer the member vote properly when a credit union seeks to convert to a mutual savings bank.

I personally was happy that all three senatorial candidates were able to get their 20 percent and get on the ballot.

America's credit unions have done so much to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, ... I encourage that spirit of volunteerism and value the good work of the credit union community across the nation.
