A little weekend reading...
Compiled by Anthony Demangone
It has been a good week.
Hundreds of credit union advocates descended upon Washington, D.C. for our Congressional Caucus.Â
I had the good fortune to dine with some folks from Michigan. It was the first Caucus for the woman seated to my right.Â
She was excited. The intimacy of the conference and the direct interactions with lawmakers on the Hill had been thrilling.
She noted that she almost felt like a lobbyist. I had to correct her.
She was a lobbyist. She was now a vital part of our government - a concerned citizen representing her interests on Capitol Hill. The heck with fictions like House of Cards and The West Wing. She was living it, and doing a great job for us all.Â
Like I said, it was a good week. I hope you can join us next year.
Now, on to this week's reading pile!
