Vice President of the United States Mike Pence will address the more than 5,000 credit union leaders Tuesday at CUNA’s Governmental Affairs Conference. CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle made the announcement during the general session Monday.

“We look forward to hearing from the Vice President,” Nussle said. “He is a longtime credit union champion, and his participation at this year’s CUNA GAC reflects all the great work credit unions do every day to support our members’ financial goals. This is a great opportunity to spotlight credit unions and share how we’re different from other financial institutions.”

CUNA’s advocacy engagement reaches policymakers on both sides of the aisle to improve how credit unions can serve communities across the country.
