goals by serving as an advocate with state and federal government, |
|
|
offering continuing education to credit union employees and |
|
|
volunteers, and providing regulatory compliance and operations |
|
|
assistance to Texas credit unions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For three-quarters of a century, the Texas Credit |
|
|
Union League has been an essential partner to credit unions across |
|
|
the Lone Star State, and it is most fitting to recognize the |
|
|
association on this noteworthy occasion; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
