This year the Illinois Credit Union League saw more than 500 credit union advocates gather for its second annual Illinois Credit Union Day at Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field.

Attendees included members of the Illinois Third House and the Illinois Legislative Chicago White Sox Caucus as the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-2.

Joe Lyons, a true supporter of credit unions, threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the game.  Lyons, a resident of Chicago, is a well-respected former state lawmaker and volunteer board member of Credit Union 1 for more than 25 years.  He most recently served as Illinois State Representative representing the 95th House District from 1996 – 2013, including as assistant majority leader.  Shortly thereafter, Lyons began working with the ICUL staff, where he has been serving as a key advocate for Illinois' credit unions at the Illinois General Assembly.
