RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. -- The California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues have named Keri Bailey their new director of state government affairs succeeding Ron Fong.
Bailey joined the leagues in 2005 as the state legislative and regulatory lobbyist after a 10-year career working in the California legislature. In her new position, she will oversee the state legislative and regulatory affairs for credit unions in California and Nevada.
