Alianza goes to the Hill with New Mexico

Representatives from Mexico’s Alianza were in Washington, DC, last week to participate in a series of meetings related to their WOCCU sponsored international partnership with the Credit Union Association of New Mexico (CUANM).

Alianza had the opportunity to visit Navy Federal Credit Union and learn more about the day-to-day operations in a US Credit Union.
They also visited the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and met with Chairperson Joanne Johnson and Board member Gigi Hyland to discuss the role of the credit union regulator.

A highlight of the visit to Washington, DC, was the opportunity to visit the United States Congres during a “Hike the Hill” event with the CUANM partners.

After three busy days in Washington, DC, the delegation traveled to Albuquerque for an up-close look at CUANM and its operations in New Mexico. In addition to a tour of CUANM’s offices, the delegation from Mexico visited two of CUANM’s member credit unions. At Sandia Laboratory Federal Credit Union, they were welcomed by CEO Christopher Jillson and several credit union staff members. They also visited New Mexico Educators FCU union where they learned more about product and services provided by large credit unions in the United States.
