WASHINGTON and ARLINGTON, Va.-CUNA and NAFCU fight for their individual constituencies together and separately, but always with their members' interests in mind.

DALLAS-NAFCU Vice Chair Diane Furnas said that she is always excited to attend NAFCU's Annual Conference because there are so many colleagues in attendance.
