House Financial Services Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade Chairman Andy Barr, R-Ky., and full committee member Bill Posey, R-Fla., are set to speak to credit union attendees at NAFCU's upcoming Congressional Caucus, Sept. 10-13 in Washington.

Congressional Caucus, NAFCU's credit union lobbying event of the year, allows attendees to hear directly from lawmakers, members of the administration and regulators about the most important issues facing the credit union industry today.

NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger met with Barr earlier this year to discuss the importance of regulatory relief and housing finance reform that considers credit unions' needs. Barr is also the author of the NAFCU-backed Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act (H.R. 2226) and the Taking Account of Bureaucrats' Spending (TABS) Act (H.R. 2553). He is also an original cosponsor of the NAFCU-supported Taking Account of Institutions with Low Operation Risk (TAILOR) Act (H.R. 1116), which would require that rules be tailored to fit financial institutions' business models and risk profiles.

Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla.

Posey is also an original cosponsor of the TAILOR Act. He also cosponsored the NAFCU-backed Capital Access for Small Businesses and Jobs Act (H.R. 1244), which would give credit unions access to supplemental capital that preserves mutuality. He sits on the House Financial Services Subcommittees on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, and Housing and Insurance. Posey also serves on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology and the House Republican Study Committee.
