Harriet Tregoning, principal deputy assistant secretary for the Office of Community Planning and Development at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is the most recent addition to the growing list of speakers for NAFCU's Congressional Caucus next month in Washington.

Tregoning recently led HUD's Office of Economic Resilience, which helps various regions, cities, counties and towns across the U.S. build a strong economic foundation by enhancing fiscal stability, transportation programs and affordability.

Congressional Caucus is NAFCU's lobbying event of the year, providing member and nonmember credit union leaders an opportunity to hear about the top issues affecting the industry and a chance to meet face-to-face about those issues with lawmakers.

Former presidential candidate Ted Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas, also recently joined the Caucus slate of speakers. Also scheduled are:

• Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., the author of NAFCU-sought legislation to require that rules be tailored to financial institutions' risk profiles;
• House Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Maxine Waters, D-Calif.;
• Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., who led a NAFCU-backed letter from 70 senators urging CFPB to make better use of its exemption authority; and
• House Financial Services Subcommittee Chairman Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, who is also the lead on the NAFCU-supported "Data Security Act" (H.R. 2205) and the chief sponsor of a NAFCU-backed bill that would repeal the Durbin amendment (H.R. 5465).

Attendees can register for Caucus, Sept. 18-21, on NAFCU's website. For more updates, follow #NAFCUCaucus on Twitter.
