NAFCU advocacy hits ground running in 2020

NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger and the association’s award-winning advocacy team have started 2020 strong, taking to Capitol Hill and reaching out to key administration officials – including President Donald Trump – and regulators to share issues credit unions would like addressed this year.
