CUNA Board Rejects Task Force Recommendations for Change

A CUNA task force had recommended sweeping changes to CUNA’s membership, advocacy, and governance practices. However, the CUNA Board has rejected all three recommendations. Specifically, the Board decided not to provide credit unions with the option of joining either their state league or CUNA, or both. It rejected a recommendation to reduce the size of its board. Lastly, a recommendation for CUNA to enter into an agreement with its members regarding advocacy practices and procedures  resulted in renaming the Government Affairs committee to the Advocacy Committee and a commitment that the committee will serve the needs of credit unions rather than a specific written agreement.
