WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Monday, the Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) issued a strong warning to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, urging them to oppose the inclusion of the Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) in the GENIUS Act or any other legislative package. In a detailed letter, DCUC outlined the bill’s disproportionate and harmful impact on military families, veterans, and the credit unions dedicated to serving them.
 To say NCUA has been the scene of uncertainty and upheaval in recent weeks would be an understatement. And that’s not exactly what defense credit unions and the rest of the industry want out of our regulator.
 One year ago, I was blessed to join the Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) as your Chief Advocacy Officer. I want to sincerely thank each of you for entrusting me to work on your behalf over the past year. Advocacy is more than a job to me—it allows the priorities of millions of credit union members to be heard in Washington and across the country, and it is truly humbling to do so on behalf of our veterans, service members, and their families. Every day, I am grateful for the chance to fight for policies that help you serve your members better, and I remain inspired by the dedication of our defense credit unions to “serve those who serve our country.”
 As I compose this month’s CEO Update, the industry is on the verge of defeating its greatest threat in 27 years. I am very proud of the work DCUC has done in terms of leading the industry’s advocacy strategy since last summer and bringing many organizations together with the sole purpose of winning this fight together. It has been a long campaign featuring late nights, early mornings, and working over several weekends to achieve great things.
