Shortly before the coronavirus pandemic took center stage, thousands of credit union leaders gathered at the 2020 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C.

Much of the discussion during the event centered on how credit unions make an impact on members’ lives and improve their financial well-being.
