<p>WASHINGTON-CUNA's small business committee will hold a small business summit at Credit Union House April 16. At least six federal agencies; Congressmen Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), chairman of the Small Business Committee, and Financial Services Committee member and credit union supporter Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.); possibly all three NCUA Board members and a representative from the administration will be in attendance. "They're going to discuss existing federal programs that are available to credit unions in facilitating our relationship with small businesses," CUNA Senior Vice President of Legislative Affairs John McKechnie explained. The meeting came out of discussions late last year. "The time has come for us to sit down and have a dialogue with some of these federal agencies to find out what the programs are and how we can serve them.
