Lawmakers are working in their home district and state offices this week, providing a great opportunity for credit unions to reach out on top industry issues, including the ongoing push for regulatory relief.

NAFCU's Grassroots Action Center allows credit unions to find contact information for their lawmakers and look up key credit union-related legislation to see where their members of Congress stand on those bills.

Credit unions can send letters, tweets, Facebook messages and also call their lawmakers concerning the current active campaigns on the Grassroots Action Center, which concern the credit union tax exemption, data security legislation and regulatory relief efforts.

Credit union representatives are also encouraged to attend NAFCU's Congressional Caucus, Sept. 10-13 in Washington, where they can meet face to face with lawmakers. Early-bird savings of $200 with promo code CAUCUSAVINGS are good through July 14.

When Congress returns to Washington next week, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is slated to give the semi-annual testimony on monetary policy. She will appear before the House Financial Services Committee July 12 and the Senate Banking Committee July 13.
