The LSCU has been working with member credit unions to develop and put forth a proactive state legislative agenda. To that end, the League has increased its presence in Montgomery and Tallahassee. Whether it’s taxation, judicial foreclosures or public deposits, all credit unions, regardless of charter, should be concerned about what laws are passed in our state capitols. In 2011, the League began holding State Governmental Affairs Conferences in Montgomery and Tallahassee to raise the profile of credit unions as well as build and maintain relationships with state lawmakers and their staff. A Legislative Reception is held in conjunction with the GAC to provide additional opportunities for interaction.
“Throughout 2012 LSCU continued a proactive and successful stance for its credit unions in the areas of lobbying and governmental relations. The LSCU team has their ‘fingers on the pulse’ of what’s happening in the credit union world and they are diligent and representative stewards for our credit union industry.” ~ Michael J. Welch, President/CEO University CU
