A number of credit unions throughout New York have contacted the New York Credit Union Association stating that they have been threatened with potential legal action over issues relating to their website’s ADA compliance.

To help credit unions navigate this issue, the Association will host a conference call this Thursday, Jan. 11, at 11 a.m. During the call, staff from the Association will discuss the Americans with Disabilities Act, particularly as it relates to website accessibility, as well as guidance and potential legal strategies for dealing with this issue.

An email with call-in instructions was sent from Association President/CEO William J. Mellin to member credit unions on Friday. For assistance with the dial-in information, contact the Association’s Member Relations department at member.relations@nycua.org.
