Advocacy
Serving as a united voice for the issues that matter to you and your credit union.
What We Do
At CCUA, we believe it’s critical to invest your dues dollars in legislative and regulatory advocacy to ensure your voice is heard. But we go beyond representing your interests before lawmakers and regulators. CCUA empowers you to understand the critical issues facing your credit union, giving you tools to promptly and effectively communicate with policymakers.

State Advocacy Committees
Membership
Advocacy Committees maintain open membership free to employees and volunteers of CCUA-affiliated credit unions interested in lending a voice to help shape the local and national credit union advocacy platform. While a consistent advocacy front is important, attendance at every meeting is not mandatory. If credit union directors, CEOs, or staff are interested in attending, upon review of any meeting agenda, then membership and attendance is welcome. Virtual participation is also available.
