Twenty-two credit union people along with MCUL staff met with members of Michigan’s congressional delegation for Hike the Hill. Attendees discussed issues such as corporate credit union stabilization, community reinvestment act (CRA), and regulatory restructuring as they visited all 17 Michigan congressional offices. Attendees received a briefing from CUNA and attended a luncheon with NCUA Executive Director Dave Marquis as the featured speaker. While on the Hill, attendees urged members to oppose any legislation that would affect the interchange received by card-issuing credit unions.
