CREDIT UNION ADVOCACY
Working to Advance the Future of Credit Unions

There’s a network out there—your network—working exclusively on behalf of credit union members throughout California and Nevada. These advocates represent the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, and their focus is on informing elected officials about issues of importance to credit unions. Your participation is a vital and necessary part of this effort—learn more at http://www.connectforthecause.com.

If a matter might affect you, your finances, or your credit union, the network ensures that your voice is heard. Resources are in place to help you keep informed of the latest developments and credit union priorities at a variety of levels:

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS – A full-time staff is dedicated to working with Congress, government agencies, and federal regulators.

STATE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS – The advocacy team works daily with elected officials, staff, the executive offices, gubernatorial appointees, and the decision-makers of California and Nevada.

PAC PROGRAMS The bipartisan Political Action Committee (PAC) supports candidates who support credit unions.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS – The Leagues works to ensure that the media and public are aware of the impact of credit unions in your neighborhoods and communities.
