INFORMATION & RESOURCES ON COVID-19 | June 2, 2020
We started this Tuesday afternoon eNewsletter in March when the barrage of news and resources related to the federal, state, and credit union response to COVID-19 made it necessary. While things might change, we expect this will be our last Tuesday eNews for now... continue to look for the President's Report on Friday mornings. If you've missed an issue, the links are on our website.
