The 2016 Northwest Credit Union Association Committee and Task Force network has launched. Nearly 200 credit union professionals are engaged in helping to shape policy, programs, and advocacy efforts.
From a small, struggling credit union in Arizona to a leading role in the Northwest movement, Rachel Pross has made a huge impact in a short time. And it all started with a robbery.
It’s the first full day of the 2014 Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C., where more than 4,400 credit union advocates – including 225 from the Northwest – have gathered to spread the credit union message and address key issues facing the movement.
Final rosters are now set for the Northwest Credit Union Association’s 2014 committees and task forces after dozens of members answered the call to play a more active leadership role in the Association’s efforts to emphasize the structure, value and impact of the credit union movement.
What happens when a credit union executive, a state legislator and the NWCUA’s vice president for legislative advocacy decide to visit every one of the credit union’s branches together and talk to every one of its employees about the importance of spreading the “Don’t Tax” message? That’s what Harborstone Credit Union did, and it’s already reaping big rewards.
Northwest credit unions will have a strong national voice on CUNA committees this year. Fourteen credit union leaders have been appointed to committees that help to determine future policy and advocacy positions.
On Jan. 24 from 10-11 a.m., the Washington Government Affairs Committee will be hosting a regulatory panel discussion featuring Scott Jarvis, Linda Jekel, Scott Hunt and Mike Dyer. All credit union employees interested in the rapidly changing regulatory environment are invited to attend.
This Oregon Legislative Update centers around Rep. Bruce Hanna, co-Speaker of the Oregon House, who spoke to the Oregon Governmental Affairs Committee in December about the accomplishments of the 2011 legislative session.
The NWCUA is accepting recommendations and self-nominations for its 17 committees and task forces until Friday, Oct. 28. There is also still time to RSVP to attend the Nov. 2 Governmental Affairs Forum in Federal Way, Wash.
The Association’s first Governmental Affairs Forum in Oregon will be held on June 22 in Bend.
