JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- The Florida Credit Union League recently honored Representative Corrine Brown (D) for her contributions to the credit union movement. Rep. Brown was among the first to sign on to H.R. 1151 in 1998. It was the grassroots support of the bill which was later passed in the Senate as the Credit Union Membership Access Act that set credit unions apart in her eyes, said Brown. "It amazed me, and I've been an elected official 18 years," Brown said. "When you have an industry as powerful as banking it's a hard fight. But when the Supreme Court ruled, it was very important that we move to protect credit unions." According to Brown, credit unions are more important to her Florida constituency than ever before. All the credit unions in the North East Chapter were present at the reception, held at Educational Community Credit Union, where Rep. Brown was presented with a check for the Credit Union Political Action Committee. Many of the attendees at the reception were also present when Brown cosigned the Bill HR1151.
