CUNA and NAFCU Boards of Directors announce plans to merge

The American Association of Credit Union Leagues congratulates  the CUNA and NAFCU Boards of Directors in announcing this historic merger. “We believe the merger  is best for credit unions and their members as a superior model for a national trade association,  providing a stronger, unified and impactful advocacy voice” according to Jeff Olson, Chairman of the  American Association of Credit Union Leagues and President/CEO of the Dakota Credit Union  Association. Ongoing credit union system evolution is necessary and a rich source of opportunity for  system growth, strength and resilience. Ever stronger advocacy for credit unions and their members at  the national and state levels is a highest-priority outcome, and working collaboratively with the state  associations across the country, this merger provides a tremendous opportunity to advance the credit  union movement.
