DENVER– The Mountain West Credit Union Association has announced a fall “Hike the Hill” series it is calling “DC From Your Desk.”
According to the MWCUA, the virtual series includes virtual meetings with legislators, regulatory agencies and other opportunities as they arise throughout September and October.
“The ability to pivot has become the norm during the past several months,” the MWCUA said. “Because of this, MWCUA’s annual in-person fall Hike the Hill has been retooled into a virtual format.”
“These uniquely challenging times present an opportunity for credit union professionals who’ve always wanted to advocate to do so without leaving home,” said Tim Dore, SVP government affairs for MWCUA. “Because of COVID, people can participate without traveling, so we’re able to connect legislators with more advocates from our region, giving us a strong voice to deliver the credit union message.”
The MWCUA said the series includes upcoming sessions with Colorado Representative Jason Crow (D), and Wyoming Senatorial candidate (and former State Representative) Cynthia Lummis (R).
Other visits are also being arranged, the association said.
