NAFCU lobbyists staffed an exhibit where members of Congress and congressional staffers could go to learn more about credit unions and their service to some 95 million member-owners across the country; in particular, the exhibit promoted NAFCU's credit union locator website, CULookup.com.
NAFCU has a long-standing commitment to promoting financial literacy and has itself produced many educational personal finance inserts and training materials on the topic over the years.
