State Capital Connections: Communicating the Credit Union Difference

Each spring, credit union representatives visit Raleigh to meet with local members of the North Carolina General Assembly. Visits are organized by League Chapter and provide a great opportunity to get to know your lawmakers and to talk to them about how your credit union is serving consumers in your community.

Approximately 54 credit union representatives have participated in four League organized State Capital Connections trips last year.  These representatives contacted 71 members of the NC House and 27 members of the NC Senate during their visits. In addition to the meetings at the legislative building, evening dinners sponsored by the League also allowed credit union participants to meet and network in a more relaxed setting.

“State Capital Connections has really helped me to network with legislators. By the end of State Capital Connections, people I had visited with early on were stopping me in the halls and saying hello. Having that recognition factor is key with our lawmakers, since one day we may have to speak with them about legislation that is very important to the credit union cause.”
-NCCUL President John Radebaugh
