Business Advocate Program

Promoted as industry advocate

America’s Credit Unions will position all Business Advocates as supporters of the credit union movement. Together, we will work to remove barriers to success by building relationships aimed at collaboration, support, and advancement of the credit union movement. We execute on this benefit by having a quarterly spot in the Monday morning press call with reporters on Capitol Hill to promote our Business Advocates.
