CUNA's 2020 advocacy agenda will tell legislators how credit unions improve financial well-being by supporting financial health, promoting financial security, and enhancing financial inclusion, says Ryan Donovan, CUNA’s chief advocacy officer.
“The CUNA/league system will continue working to revolutionize the operating environment for credit unions by removing barriers, expanding powers, enhancing information security, and preserving the tax status,” he says. “But we’re going to talk about how these efforts will help credit unions solve the financial problems facing millions of Americans.”
He believes this message will resonate with members of Congress, who are concerned primarily about how the policies they propose affect their constituents.
In this episode of the CUNA News Podcast, Donovan shares advocacy highlights from 2019, priorities for 2020, and likely challenges we’ll face along the way.
Credit Union Magazine’s Fall 2022 issue highlights credit unions’ role in cryptocurrency, the state of digital assets, cannabis banking compliance, the human side of technology implementation, and involving the board in financial discussions.
