CU 2.0 Podcast Credit Union Lobbyist John McKechnie on the CU Tax Exemption + More
Call this your must listen podcastg before GAC.
Because in this show you will be hearing explicit advice about your CAC 2025 to do.
Here's what is at stake: the credit union tax exmption on the future of NCUA.
Will credit unions lose their federal tax exemption? Will NCUA be shuffled into a couple desks in the basement of the Treasury Department?
Issues of monumental importance to the credit union movement are actively under discussion in Washington DC and longtime credit union lobbyist John McKechnie is on the showto report on the latest rumblings on Capitol Hill.
The big takeaway from this show: these issues very much are on the table in today's Washington DC
On the date of this recording - February 18 - McKechnie expressed optimism about credit unions retaining their tax exemption.
But he also stressed that what will be needed to win this fight is a concerted action by many, many credit union people to get the message across that to keep doing the valuable work credit unions do they need to keep that tax free status.
That means put on your shoes and get busy walking the Hill.
And be ready to walk it not just during GAC but in the weeks and months afterwards because, stresses McKechnie, relationships with members and staffers on the Hill are forged via repeat contacts.
