CUs on the Tube: North Carolina CUs hike the hill
GREENSBORO, N.C. (6/2/08)--Representatives of the Piedmont, Northwest, Foothills and Western Chapters of the North Carolina Credit Union League met with legislators in Raleigh during a Hike the Hill event Wednesday.
The visits are a part of the State Capital Connections program, and followed visits made one week earlier with members of the Tarheel, North Piedmont, Northwest and Southeast Chapters and the North Carolina General Assembly (Weekly Update May 30).
During the meetings, credit union representatives highlighted a study by Dr. William Jackson, which indicated that credit unions saved their members $529 million in one year. The study was based on 2006 data.
The league also conducted a video interview with Rep. Trudi Walend (R-Transylvania) during the hill visit (use the link).
