WASHINGTON–NAFCU has named Chris Anuswith, VP-risk management with ABNB Federal Credit Union, as its credit union grassroots activist of the year with the presentation of the 2015 Paul Revere Award. The award was presented during its Congressional Caucus here.
“Chris has worked extremely hard advocating credit unions most important issues,” said NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger. “We are proud to honor his extraordinary commitment to advancing the industry’s pressing legislative and regulatory matters.”
The award is only given to an individual of a NAFCU-member credit union and recognizes a credit union supporter who goes to great lengths in their grassroots and political efforts.
Anuswith has attended several meetings with congressional staff on behalf of ABNB FCU. In May and June, he met with congressional staff for Reps. Scott Rigell (R-VA) and Randy Forbes (R-VA), respectively. During those discussions, Anuswith talked about some of the credit union industry’s critical issues, including data security and regulatory burden and urged passage of certain legislation that would provide relief for credit unions.
