THE 'tude

Credit unions throughout the U.S. proudly join together to participate in and sponsor the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run held in our nation’s capital each April to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network. 

At the core of every credit union’s mission is to improve their members’ financial well-being. It permeates every activity, from products and services to community outreach.

I woke up last Thursday morning after attending CUNA’s Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington, DC, to an article in CUtoday.info that reported about a letter sent to Congress by the American Bankers Association’s (ABA) James Ballentine, Executive Vice President, Congressional Relations & Political Affairs.

In the wake of Winter Storm Jonas, many credit unions are either feeling thankful they had realistic and thoughtful business continuity plans in place before the storm hit, or wishing they had been more thorough when it comes to disaster preparedness.
