Governmental Affairs Update: Feb. 23, 2022

Thanks to the over 90 people who joined us last week for the IMPACT 22 webinar. Guests included Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller, Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, and Commerce Commissioner Grace Arnold. MnCUN staff provided an overview of legislative priorities for this session and a high-level look at the most recent consumer survey. A recording of the webinar is available on the IMPACT 22 Members-only Portal Page.

If you haven't done so already, please share your credit union story with legislators: 

​Send a postcard
Each credit union was sent 2 postcards per employee to the attention of the CEO or Grassroots Coordinator.

The IMPACT 22 Member-only Portal Page has ideas for messages and how to find out who is your legislator.

Record a Video Testimonial
Tell your credit union story on the "Working for Minnesota" website. Record or upload a video at workingformn.org/send-us-your-video/ or reach out to MnCUN and we can assist.

Send a GREAT message to Legislators:
Last week, we sent out a GREAT alert to prompt you to send a message to your legislator.

If you haven't already done so, sign up for the GrassRoots Education Action Team to receive timely alerts and sample messages to send to elected officials about an issue of concern to credit unions.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Director of Government Affairs, Ryan Smith, at any time.
