Special Issue: CUNA Symposium/NAFCU Congressional Caucus

There are special issues and then there are special issues. This issue of Credit Union Times is particularly unique because it is being distributed at two major credit union conferences, the CUNA National Symposium in Orlando and the NAFCU Congressional Caucus in Washington, D.C. A number of CUNA/NAFCU related stories are included in this issue in recognition of the two major CU events, as well as many unrelated stories. This issue was even held a day past deadline to ensure up-to-the-minute coverage of the September NCUA Board meeting (pages 1 and 84). The following index is provided to help readers find what they're looking for in this 104-page issue. Happy reading!!! * CUNA's fee-based reorganization was about more than just new job titles.
