WASHINGTON—With the House and Senate at home for a two-week district work period, both credit union trade associations are backing efforts by credit unions to set up meetings with their representatives and senators in their home districts/states and talk about issues critical to the industry.
In an email to members, NAFCU Vice President of Legislative Affairs Brad Thaler encouraged credit unions to contact their legislators to discuss data security, regulatory relief and the NCUA's risk-based capital (RBC) rule.
Thaler, in the email, also highlighted four key ways to engage with lawmakers during congressional district work periods.
