Advocates share Hill visits on social media
CUNA GAC attendees share credit unions' story on Capitol Hill.
While Hill visits occur throughout the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference, they started in full Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
Credit union advocates from across the United States took the talking points discussed during the first three days of the conference and set out to share credit union ideals and causes with legislators.
