Title: So You're a CAMEL Code 3 - Now What?
Summary:
Mark Treichel, Steve Farrar, and Todd Miller discuss what it means when a credit union receives a CAMEL 3 rating from NCUA and what to expect in terms of increased supervision and requirements. They cover recent trends in CAMEL 3 ratings, how NCUA's oversight changes, and advice for credit unions on responding effectively.
Key Points:

- Monthly reporting requirements in many cases
- Credit unions should expect it to take 14-20+ months before potentially being upgraded back to CAMEL 2

- Boards should implement tracking/reporting on progress resolving issues
- Management should provide regular updates to board on addressing concerns
