The U.S. House Financial Services committee held a hearing this morning entitled “The Federal Regulators' Response to Recent Bank Failures.” 

The Minnesota Credit Union Network’s role is to help the industry as a whole grow market share by creating a favorable legislative environment, easing regulatory burdens, and increasing consumer awareness. We also provide credit union employees and board members professional development and networking opportunities. 

​Please provide to the MnCUN staff and Board of Directors your response to our 2022 annual performance by Friday, March 31. This survey will take 5-10 minutes of your time and we welcome all comments.

Thank you, in advance, for your contribution to helping us make the Network an organization able to meet the needs of credit unions in and around Minnesota.

Please contact MnCUN Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer Mara Humphrey, with questions via email.

​The Minnesota legislative session is at its halfway mark and last week was another busy week in Saint Paul that included the movement of a number of bills of interest to credit unions.

Last week was the first legislative deadline when bills must be passed committee to continue to move through the process, which meant a lot of committee activity. 

Legislative activity at the Minnesota Legislature continues at a fast pace with major policy proposals moving through the process. 

Next week credit union professionals and board members will attend CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington D.C. to highlight the meaningful work credit unions are doing to improve the financial well-being of their members and communities. The tentative schedule includes: 

​Meetings with Senators Klobuchar and Smith: We will meet with Senator Klobuchar at noon followed by Senator Smith at 12:15 on Tuesday, February 28 in 512 Hart Senate Office Building. 

Hill Visits: The Minnesota Credit Union Network will be scheduling hill visits on Wednesday, March 1. 

Network Issues Briefing & Luncheon: Connect with Minnesota attendees and hear from special guest speakers in room 103 of the Washington Convention Center on Wednesday, March 1 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Hospitality Suite: A hospitality suite offering refreshments and networking opportunities will be available at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in room 2-054 for Minnesota GAC attendees from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., February 26-28.

Chuck Albrecht Retirement Toast: Chuck Albrecht is retiring after 20 years at Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union and we’d like to invite you to a toast to celebrate his years in the credit union industry. We’ll be toasting him at 9 p.m. on Sunday, February 26th in the Network’s hospitality suite in room 2-054 at the Marriott Marquis so please join us to lift a glass in his honor!
