Your Voice Drives National Policy Priorities

Posted by on August 12, 2024

In the coming days, credit unions throughout the country will receive a survey from America’s Credit Unions (ACU) seeking your input on future credit union policy matters. The survey will help ensure that ACU’s priorities are aligned with the full range of issues important to your credit union with an understanding of their potential impact to your organization.

This survey follows a significant effort by the American Association of Credit Union Leagues (AACUL) to capture federal legislative and regulatory priorities from league policy leads and create and AACUL federal policy priority compendium. GoWest team members played a key role in driving this work forward and integrating policy priorities that we have identified in direct work and consultation with GoWest credit unions to capture and identify a wide range of issues.

AACUL and GoWest have been engaged with ACU about the survey’s topics and approach in hopes of ensuring that credit unions nationally can weigh in on a comprehensive list of issues and adequately capture the need to modernize the federal credit union charter, which is important to all credit unions regardless of their current charter.

Just as you have participated directly in providing feedback and insights to GoWest it is very important that you complete the ACU survey to ensure the voice of GoWest region credit unions can help drive those future ACU priorities. To support that work GoWest will provide you with current GoWest and AACUL supported policy priorities and a guide to help complete your ACU survey based on the feedback and input compiled through our communication with credit union experts. This will be shared in the days following the release of the final ACU survey.

We appreciate your engagement in all steps of the policy strategy development process and helping ensure that GoWest’s policy priorities are driven and informed by the collective experience and knowledge of credit union experts.
