WASHINGTON-Top CUNA officials met with White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Nancy-Anne DeParle to make sure the White House is up to speed on credit unions and their issues.
CUNA CEO Bill Cheney was joined by EVP-General Counsel Eric Richard, SVP-Deputy General Counsel Mary Dunn, EVP-Special Assistant to the President John Magill and SVP-Legislative Affairs Ryan Donovan.
The discussion with DeParle focused on reaffirming the importance of credit unions' tax exempt status, the need for regulatory relief for credit unions, and enhancing the Administration's support for credit union initiatives, such as member business lending. "I was pleased to be able to meet with her and that she is so conversant on credit union issues. I felt the meeting was productive, and she was receptive to hearing about our concerns," Cheney said following the meeting.
