Oregon’s Credit Unions Recap Successful 2007 Legislative Session

BEAVERTON, Ore.–Credit unions in Oregon celebrated several successes when the state’s Senate and House recently adjourned. Pamela Leavitt, senior vice president of governmental affairs and public relations for the Credit Union Association of Oregon (CUAO) said in a release, “The 2007 Legislative Session proved to be one of the busiest for credit unions. Besides moving our priority legislation through both the House and Senate, we were asked to serve on work groups for major bills on identity theft, predatory lending, and consumer lending. We participated in several meetings with the Governor on short-term lending bills.”
