Gary Peters, D-Mich., have joined the distinguished list of speakers confirmed for the National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) 2016 Congressional Caucus, scheduled Sept. 18-21 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.
Petraeus has led CFPB’s Office of Servicemember Affairs since 2011. Petraeus’s office partners with the Pentagon to see that military families receive strong financial education; to monitor complaints from military families and responses to those complaints by the CFPB and other agencies. Petraeus has been a featured speaker on several NAFCU webcasts focused on servicemember issues and has previously addressed NAFCU’s Defense Credit Union Summit.
Brady previously chaired the Ways and Means subcommittee on health. He took the full committee’s chairmanship last November, when then-Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., rose to the position of House speaker.
Peters joined the Senate in 2015 after having served three terms in the House, where he cosponsored NAFCU-backed legislation to increase the statutory credit union member business lending cap. He serves on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee and the Joint Economic Committee.
These individuals join a distinguished roster of speakers slated for NAFCU’s Congressional Caucus, including:
