DULUTH, Ga. – The League of Southeastern Credit Unions (LSCU), acting on a recommendation from the Georgia Advocacy Policy Committee, has named State Senator John Albers (R-Roswell) as the 2021 State Lawmaker of the Year.
“I am pleased to have been named the 2021 State Lawmaker of the year by LSCU,” said Sen. Albers. “The LSCU does an exceptional job providing advocacy, compliance, education, professional networking, communications and other resources to assist its members. I look forward to working with them in the future on bills that have the potential to positively impact the people of Georgia.”
Sen. Albers serves as the chief deputy whip and the vice chairman of the Finance Committee. In this role, Chairman Albers has been a stalwart leader in the State Senate and consistently looks out for credit unions, the LSCU said.
“During the 2021 legislative session, Senator Albers single-handedly saved House Bill 334, the Remote Online Notarization bill, which significantly benefits credit unions by reducing loan turnaround times, increasing operational efficiencies, and further launching member services into the twenty-first century,” noted Patrick La Pine, CEO of LSCU & Affiliates. “Senator Albers serves as a watchdog over tax issues that could negatively impact financial institutions, and we commend him for his dedication to protecting Georgia consumers and credit unions.”
