WASHINGTON-In separate ceremonies last week, House Financial Services Committee Member Mike Oxley (R-Ohio) and Committee Member Doug Bereuter (R-Neb.) were honored with awards from cooperatives. CUNA was a sponsor of both awards. Oxley received the "Honored Cooperator" award from the National Cooperative Business Association for his continued commitment to cooperatives, including credit unions. "Chairman Oxley recognizes that removing unnecessary regulatory burdens and red tape enables credit unions to do an even better job serving their members. For this, and for his consistent support of credit unions in Ohio and nationwide, Congressman Oxley is a most deserving recipient of the Honored Cooperator Award," CUNA President and CEO Dan Mica said. Additionally, Congressman Bereuter was named to the Cooperative Development Foundation's "Cooperators Hall of Fame." -
