TRENTON, N.J.—When State Employees' Credit Union disaffiliated from CUNA and the Carolinas CU League it put a new spotlight on a growing concern of many credit unions, whether their state associations are effectively serving the needs of all of their dues-paying members—big and small. And it’s not just credit unions asking themselves that question. For the state leagues, in which for decades membership was almost automatic and when the rare disaffiliation occurred it was often due to personal politics, it has also meant self-reflection. They acknowledge they have a task ahead.
