AACUL Winter Meeting Measures CU Landscape

NAPLES, Fla. — Southwest Florida contributed unseasonably cool weather in keeping with the Winter Meeting of the American Association of Credit Union Leagues here last week, but that was no impediment to AACUL attendees. The group discussed progress in several areas of interest, including the response to unrelated business income tax and planned political involvement in private sessions, while participants in open sessions heard from all three NCUA Board members.

Key issue discussions and reports dominated the private portions of the meeting, including an update on CUNA Strategic Services, Inc. from Senior Vice President Wes Millar and Terry Costin, SVP marketing & sales for CUNA; and a CUNA Mutual Group, Inc., progress report from Executive Vice President of Sales Robert Trunzo, Don Davidson, vice president CU systems relations, and Gerry Singleton, director of league and association relations. A discussion on NCUA’s Outreach Task Force among CU league presidents and the committee meeting on state issues advocacy were also closed to the press.
