“I am honored to have the opportunity to represent our nation’s credit unions on the CFPB’s Credit Union Advisory Council,” said Falk. “As credit unions, our goal is to protect our members with consumer-friendly financial products.

By actively participating in the discussions and recommendations coming out of Washington, I believe we will be able to shape financial services regulations and policies that protect our members as well as the community at-large.”
