It's that time of the year when everybody's strategic plans are put into place and are poised to succeed in their endeavors for the next 12 months -- and beyond. The folks at NAFCU are no different, as they just released the association's 2020 priorities detailed in a letter from NAFCU President/CEO Dan Berger to key members of congress.

We invited NAFCU EVP of Government Affairs/General Counsel Carrie Hunt on the show to discuss some of these priorities and what they mean to credit unions heading into 2020. Listed below are the items we discussed:

• Growth: Supporting legislation and regulation that helps credit unions grow membership, loans and retained earnings.
• Fair and Innovative Market: Fighting back against meritless banker attacks, promoting innovation and establishing regulatory standards for fintech and data security.
• Regulatory Relief: Providing clear rules of the road and streamlining regulation that allows credit unions to put more resources towards serving members.
• Strong NCUA: Pressing for the NCUA to be the sole industry regulator and fostering a strong relationship with NCUA to ensure credit unions' voices and concerns are heard.
• Tax Exemption: Preserving credit unions' federal tax exemption in order to keep focus on members, not profits, and save U.S. consumers $16 billion annually.
• Transparency: Encouraging government transparency and accountability to ensure taxpayers' and credit unions' dollars are used responsibly and rules are tailored appropriately.
