Greater Reach. Greater Impact.
The proposed merger of The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates and the MD|DC Credit Union Association brings together the strengths of two highly respected organizations to create a stronger advocate and partner for credit unions.
By combining resources, expertise, and influence, the new organization will expand its scale, capacity, and impact while preserving the local relationships, regional perspective, and responsiveness members value. The result is a stronger partner equipped to help credit unions remain competitive, build resilience, and create greater value for the members and communities they serve.

Amplifying the Credit Union Voice
Local advocacy expertise will remain a cornerstone of the strategy, supported by lobbyists with deep regional knowledge and engaged advocacy committees. Together, they will help drive a coordinated advocacy strategy that advances credit union priorities and builds policymaker support.
Greater proximity to Capitol Hill and federal agencies will further strengthen relationships, access, and influence, ensuring the credit union perspective helps shape policy discussions.
While local advocacy expertise remains at the forefront, credit unions will benefit from the expanded scale, resources, and influence of a larger organization.
Equipping Credit Unions for Success
A combined organization will provide credit unions with a greater capacity to develop their teams and strengthen their organizations.
By pairing The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates’ scale and structured approach to professional development with the MD|DC Association’s strong culture of collaboration and peer connection, the new organization can create a more powerful member development experience, one that supports credit union professionals at every stage of their careers and helps organizations build the leadership and capabilities they need for the future. Signature experiences such as The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates’ CEO and C-Suite Summit and ENGAGE and the MD|DC Association’s Tech Summit and Volunteer Leadership Conference, will anchor a broader portfolio of learning and leadership opportunities.
A stronger network of people and expertise will be complemented by access to an expanded portfolio of best-in-class products, services, and solutions that address evolving needs, improve performance, and help credit unions achieve long-term success.
Empowering Small Credit Unions
Small credit unions will benefit from a focused support system tailored to their unique needs.
Expanded access to expertise, training, peer networks, financial assistance programs, and strategic guidance will help small credit unions strengthen operations, navigate challenges, and pursue emerging opportunities.
With greater capacity and resources behind that support, the combined organization will help small credit unions build resilience, plan for the future, and achieve long-term success while remaining deeply connected to the communities they serve.
