Leagues, CUs bring advocacy agenda to policymakers
Leagues and credit unions engaged with elected officials before and during the 2021 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference, and many Leagues and credit unions will continue meetings over the coming days to discuss ways credit unions can promote financial well-being for all and advance the communities they serve.
Some highlights of these visits from social media include:
