ONTARIO, Calif.--The California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues has named Stephanie Cuevas senior vice president of federal government affairs.
“We made this goal our top priority as we transitioned into 2023,” said Diana Dykstra, president and CEO of the Leagues. “Credit unions need an astute and experienced professional representing their interests within local districts and on Capitol Hill. We approached this task with our credit unions and their members in mind as a new Congress came into session earlier this year and the direction of federal policies on the legislative and regulatory fronts remain paramount to the operation of all credit unions across California and Nevada.”
Cuevas started at the Leagues on March 13. She is a skilled advocate with a proven track record of advancing legislative priorities at the local, state, and federal levels. With more than 10 years of experience in community outreach and policy development, Cuevas understands the importance of effective advocacy to influence decision makers. She is dedicated to utilizing her skills to enact policies that will defend and advance the cause of credit unions.
Cuevas was most recently senior government affairs representative for the Lakewood, CA-based Water Replenishment District (WRD), the largest groundwater agency by population in the state of California that manages and protects local groundwater resources for 4 million Southern California residents. She managed communications and outreach to 236 elected officials and their staff.
