This week: Congress returns, works to avoid partial government shutdown

This week, lawmakers return to Washington with plans to tackle some government funding items set to expire March 1 in order to avoid a partial government shutdown. America’s Credit Unions will continue to keep credit union industry advocacy priorities top-of-mind.  

Also happening this week: 

  • Thursday, the NCUA and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Fund will host a webinar on the certification process to become a CDFI credit union; and 
  • Friday, responses to an America’s Credit Unions survey on the CFPB’s recent proposal on overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees are due. 

America’s Credit Unions is preparing to welcome thousands of credit union professionals to this year’s Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), which will take place March 3-7 in the nation's capital. Credit unions can also access the full lineup of America’s Credit Unions’ 2024 events

GAC attendees from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia who will be in Washington, D.C., during the “Super Tuesday” primaries March 5 are encouraged to look into early absentee voting possibilities in their state to ensure the credit union voice is heard. Local voting information can be found at creditunionsvote.com.  

The organization will keep credit unions updated on the latest out of Washington.
