NAFCU urges credit union representatives to visit with lawmakers this week while they are working in their home districts and states to discuss top industry issues, including data security and regulatory relief.

To set up meetings with lawmakers during in-district and -state work periods, NAFCU members can contact NAFCU Director of Political Affairs Dan O'Brien at dobrien@nafcu.org.

NAFCU is pushing Congress on several issues of importance to credit unions, including data security and regulatory relief. Last week, NAFCU engaged in a week-long campaign, "Stop the Data Breaches," to promote passage of the NAFCU-backed "Data Security Act" (H.R. 2205/S.961). The association is still encouraging credit unions to take action through its Grassroots Action Center to contact their members of Congress and urge them to support the legislation.

Coming up Sept. 18-21, credit union representatives will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with their lawmakers during NAFCU's Congressional Caucus to discuss these issues and others in Washington. Registration is open.

Credit unions should also note that NAFCU's Annual Conference and Solutions Expo is just a few short weeks away, June 14-17, in downtown Nashville. Registration is still available for NAFCU members and nonmembers.
