Advocacy lies at the heart of everything we do for you, our members. Together with our partners, we support, protect and advance credit union interests at the local, state and federal levels.
Our Core Priorities
The core priorities that drive our advocacy agenda include the following:
Advance Financial Well-Being
Credit unions in the Maryland and DC area are more than just financial institutions—they are dedicated partners in helping families and communities achieve financial success. Through relentless advocacy for policies that empower credit unions to fulfill their mission, we are committed to creating a stronger, more inclusive financial future for everyone.

Remain Competitive
Credit unions are a consumer-friendly option in a competitive marketplace. We work to protect credit unions’ unique role in the financial services sector by advancing policies that ensure consumers continue to have access to affordable and responsible financial services.
Reduce Regulatory Barriers
Consumers benefit from commonsense regulations tailored to meet the needs of not-for-profit, member-owned credit unions. We advocate for reducing regulatory barriers to ensure credit unions can better support small businesses, foster economic opportunity and strengthen communities.
