The CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference will bring together thousands of professionals across the country to remind legislators and regulators the importance of credit unions to the American financial partners. The conference will also be a great opportunity to connect and network at social events with other credit union professionals and attend sessions to learn from some of the best in the business.

Bob Schieffer’s session “Political Outlook from a Political Leader” will cover how Schieffer covered the White House, Pentagon, the State Department, and Capitol Hill as well as interview every President since Richard Nixon.
