This proposal would allow credit unions to reimburse their board members for dependent care expenses (like childcare) and other work-related expenses when those board members attend meetings or perform official duties. Right now, many credit unions cannot easily provide these reimbursements, which can make it harder for working parents or caregivers to serve on boards. The change matters because it removes a barrier that could prevent qualified people from diverse backgrounds from participating in credit union leadership, since people with caregiving responsibilities won't have to choose between attending board meetings and paying for childcare.
