Why is Advocacy Important?
Credit Unions, supported by America's Credit Unions nationally and by the Leagues at the state level, actively champion initiatives that highlight the unique benefits of credit unions and advocate for policies that support their business model. It's important to engage with our legislators on policies that matter to ensure you, our members, best interests are represented. Because, if we don't, who will?
