ARLINGTON, Va. — NAFCU's White Hat for 2006 political fundraising went to Members 1st Federal Credit Union for the fourth year in a row.

The White Hat goes to the member credit union that raises the most funds for NAFCU/PAC. This year Members 1st, led by NAFCU Board Member Bob Marquette, raised $25,122.63, NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker announced. NAFCU/PAC has grown in recent years, raising $191,873.53 in 2006.

Becker credits Marquette and Members 1st with motivating NAFCU members to get involved in the political process. "It's not a record for them," Becker said noting that Members 1st won last year with more than $80,000 raised. "What Bob wanted to do is set a goal and get others to participate and I think he's done that."
