U.S. Capitol Steps
Monday's CUNA/League Advocacy update at CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference focused on the advocacy agenda and best practices for ensuring success when doing advocacy work with members of Congress.
Ryan Donovan, chief advocacy officer for CUNA said that the organization has chosen a 360-degree approach to advocacy. The advocacy agenda includes four main areas:
- Reduce regulatory burden so credit unions can better serve members
- Enhance payment security so that member data is protected
- Preserve the credit union tax status
- Expand credit union powers so that credit unions can remain relevant in quickly changing financial system
Richard Gose, chief political officer at CUNA said the CUNA Member Activation Program is a way to push the credit union agenda and educate members to get them involved in credit union advocacy. "The more we do to educate our credit unions, the easier it is to activate our credit unions. CUNA and the league system work well, but when we are working hand in hand with CUNA, the leagues and credit unions, there's nothing we can't do," said Gose.
