Credit Unions Show a Storm of Support at CU Day!

Despite less than ideal weather conditions, an impressive group of nearly 50 credit union representatives from throughout the state made the trip to Augusta to be part of Maine Credit Union Day at the State House on Thursday, March 1. Highlights of the day included watching the Legislature in session, meeting with legislators and being recognized with a Joint Resolution by the Maine House and Senate.

The morning-long event attracted close to 100 legislators who took the time to visit with credit union representatives in the Hall of Flags. One legislator called the opportunity to meet with his local credit union "a chance to touch base on important issues and get feedback on the economy from their point of view. Credit unions are so connected with their communities and members which provides a great perspective and insight into how many of my constituents are doing." Another added, "Maine credit unions are a vital part of helping thousands of Maine people succeed financially. I told the credit unions I spoke with how much I appreciated the benefits and the services they provide to members."

The day showed that whatever the weather, credit unions remain a strong presence at the State House, reinforcing the commitment and involvement that Maine's credit unions have in legislative affairs!
