"In the coming weeks, your League will be taking a deeper dive into the budget and we will be commenting on areas of concern for member credit unions," said League President/CEO Carrie Hunt. "It's been less than a decade since the enactment of the law that created a more open and transparent NCUA budget process, an effort our own Sen. Warner helped spearhead following intense League advocacy efforts. As the key stakeholders, it's vitally important that credit unions, Leagues and our system partners use this opportunity to comment on the budget. While we are ever-mindful of NCUA's mission, we also need an agency that is truly supporting the whole of our industry, an agency that encourages innovation within credit unions, and an agency, which itself, is innovative and nimble."
