Register Today! Days at the Capitol Are Coming Soon

Posted by Patti Hazlett on December 4, 2025

As lawmakers across the region prepare to gavel in for the 2026 state legislative sessions, issues that influence how credit unions serve their members will be front and center — from consumer protection and community lending to interchange and regulatory oversight. These conversations are shaped by the people who show up.

When credit unions stand together at the Capitol, our collective voice is powerful, respected, and influential. But that influence only exists when leaders and advocates from across the state are in the room. If you’re not there, your district — and your members — go unheard.

Your Credit Union Day at the Capitol is your opportunity to ensure lawmakers understand the real impact credit unions make. By sharing member stories, key data, and priority policy asks directly with decision-makers, you help shape the laws and regulations that affect your members, your teams, and your community. When credit union advocates show up, lawmakers listen — and relationships form that last for years.

At each state’s Credit Union Day at the Capitol, you’ll join fellow credit union advocates for:

• Conversations with lawmakers on credit union priorities
• Insights from state leaders on the major issues shaping this year’s legislative session
• Advocacy training to help you tell your story with clarity and confidence
• Networking with peers from across the credit union community

Whether this is your first advocacy event or you’re a seasoned participant, your presence strengthens our unified voice — helping pass meaningful legislation and preventing harmful proposals from gaining traction.
