b'MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIPYour Leagues commitment to unifying the Louisiana credit union system has grown and strengthened through the years, however, our team took it to another level in 2020. A global pandemic, changing consumer needs, massive technology shifts, and regulatory challenges have all exerted pressure on credit unions to adapt and to cooperate. Your League was created to be a catalyst for that purpose. From collecting and distributing pertinent information on pandemic policies to disbursing hundreds of grants for disas-ter recovery, it is crystal clear that we achieve so much more by working together than by going at it alone.Our industry used the pandemic as an opportunity to look around and re-evaluate how we can evolve. Your League was no different. When the governor imposed a stay-at-home/work-from-home order in March, your League continued to serve as a collective space to ignite collaboration and connection to the support needed. We worked diligently to raise the profiles of Louisiana credit unions among lawmakers both in Baton Rouge and Washington D.C. As your association, we stand ready to meet the challenges every single day and work tirelessly monitoring the impact so you dont have to. Given the current political and legislative environment, we cant afford to slow down. We stepped up to the challenge with our educational offerings when restrictions were placed on travel and gatherings. Your League created unique learning environments with industry experts, earning national awards for our efforts.In the midst of chaos are rare opportunities. The leaders of today have an opportunity to change the way we do business tomorrow. As always, your League will stand beside you as these changes take place, providing the leadership you expect and deserve.Sidney ParfaitBob Gallman Board Chair President/CEOYall are making a difference in OUR lives so we can in turn make a difference in our members lives.
