Stepping Up to Support Credit Unions Fighting the COVID Crisis

The nation’s credit union leagues have been filling the critical roles of helping credit unions manage through the unprecedented challenges created by the coronavirus health and economic crisis. The trade groups quickly sprang into action in March despite not knowing quite how to respond, and they adapted along the way, learned valuable lessons, developed best practices and collaborated with their league partners.
