GoWest’s Pam Leavitt, Oregon Credit Unions, Honored at National GAC for Advocacy Leadership

It takes a village to move the advocacy needle. This is something that Pam Leavitt realized when she joined the Credit Union Movement in 1994, tasked with leading advocacy efforts for Oregon credit unions. Over time she built an advocacy model that has been admired and copied throughout the league system and continues to build on it for sustainable success into the future. The model is successful due to partnership and deep engagement of credit unions.
