THE KEYSTONE NETWORK

“In   the   credit   unions,   individuals   combine  

together   to   form   an   organiza8on   which   they  

themselves  control  and  operate.”

             -­‐  Karl  S.  Li+le,  Credit  Union  Pioneer

NATHAN MUNIZ nmuniz@psecu.com @nj_muniz

WHAT IS THE NETWORK?• The  Keystone  Network  is  a  grassroots  group  of  PSECU  members  that  have  expressed  an  interest  in  legisla@ve/poli@cal  issues

• The  Keystone  Contacts  are  a  smaller  group  in  the  network  who  want  to  get  more  involved  in  advoca@ng  on  behalf  of  the  credit  union
