As we wade further into Financial Literacy Month, I want us to shift direction for a moment and look away from the “what” and “why” of the month to the “when” and “where.” In many articles over the years, we have covered the importance of financial education and what areas credit unions should focus on—where their members and community are struggling and how they can meet those needs through financial literacy and financial wellness support.

Following the unexpected firings of NCUA Board Members Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka last week by President Trump, the NCUA has released its first official statement on the issue, clarifying that it considers one board member to qualify as a quorum.

Late Tuesday evening, President Trump fired two of the three NCUA board members—Democrats Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka—years before their terms were set to expire, leaving Board Chair, Republican Kyle Hauptman, the sole remaining board member.

While for many (myself included), it felt as though winter would never end, we have come through the other side and made it to April, and hopefully, by now, you all know what that means.
CDFI Fund Marked Safe From Cuts, Deemed Statutory

3 weeks ago | cusomag.com | Emily Claus

As Esteban Camargo reported last week, the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) fund was left in limbo these last few weeks, following the Executive Order signed on March 14, aimed at further reducing the size of the federal government. The vague wording of the order cast doubt over what was considered statutory—and therefore, permissable—and what would need to be cut.

As promised, we are back with more content from the 2025 Governmental Affairs Conference held last week in Washington D.C.

New Bill Introduced to Raise Business Lending Cap

As we discussed at the Governmental Affairs Conference last week, a large priority for both America’s Credit Unions and many in Congress this year is to increase the small business lending cap for credit unions. Not even a week out from GAC, a new bill has been introduced to the House which aims to do just that.
