Berger talks relief, FOM in Day 2 of Hill visits

NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger and other NAFCU lobbyists took to Capitol Hill again Wednesday and met with House and Senate committee chairmen of the 114th Congress, focusing on credit union regulatory relief, field of membership and strengthening of the federal charter.

"We will be pushing hard in the coming year to advance measures that lead to a more favorable regulatory environment for credit unions. Our message of ‘Enough is Enough' is resonating," Berger said. "As not-for-profit cooperatives, credit unions need as much flexibility as they can get to marshal resources and talent to enhance their bottom lines and meet members' needs."

Berger and NAFCU's senior government affairs staff were also on Capitol Hill Tuesday, swearing-in day for the 114th Congress, meeting with returning and new credit union friends and advancing the association's 2015 top priorities.
