NAFCU advances data-driven advocacy, bolsters research team

As today's financial marketplace becomes more innovative and data-driven, NHillAFCU is keeping pace by facilitating a forward-thinking approach to its award-winning advocacy efforts. Among the most recent efforts: bolstering NAFCU's research team in order to provide credit unions and key policymakers more insight into the issues affecting the industry's every-day business operations and services. 

As a result, NAFCU has promoted Andrew Morris to senior counsel for research and policy, effective immediately. 

"Andrew brings a thoughtful, analytical approach to our regulatory efforts in his current role and will be bringing those skills to the Research team, helping us to provide data-driven support for all NAFCU’s lobbying goals," said Carrie Hunt, NAFCU EVP of Government Affairs and General Council. 

As senior counsel for research and policy, Morris will serve a key link between NAFCU’s research and regulatory teams. Morris previously served as NAFCU’s regulatory affairs counsel.  

NAFCU administers monthly surveys to its member credit unions with the intention of providing meaningful data and analysis on industry trends. These survey results are also critical to NAFCU's advocacy efforts on credit unions’ behalf to federal agencies, such as the NCUA, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and the Federal Reserve.
