"Small credit unions are passionate about what they do," Simpson said. "They are essential to the communities and people they serve, and our overarching movement. The group serving on this panel care deeply about preserving the small credit union model and continuing to meet their members' needs in a dynamic financial system. We are committed to doing all we can to ensure their operating environment allows them to thrive. We had our first meeting in early February. It was a robust discussion and a great indicator of what's to come from this panel."
