MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Credit Union League is doing something about compiling and organizing the industry's now-mushrooming track record on advocacy and community outreach by building Web sites, blogs and eventually a data storehouse accessible to the media.

"We've long needed to turn all the anecdotal data we've assembled into categories that can be useful not only to credit unions but also to really tell our story to lawmakers, the media and the public," explained Brett Thompson, league president/CEO.

Under current planning, league officials said they expect the stored data representing hundreds of news clips, press releases and narratives drawn from Wisconsin CUs to be ready in the database by yearend when it can be accessed by CUs in the state and elsewhere.
