This week: Congress on recess, CUs urged to reach out

by NAFCU Newsroom

Senate and House lawmakers are in their home districts and states this week, providing a great opportunity for credit unions to reach out on top industry issues, including the ongoing push for regulatory relief.

NAFCU’s Grassroots Action Center allows credit unions to find contact information for their lawmakers and look up key credit union-related legislation to see where their members of Congress stand on those bills.
