Currently, the league's top priority is to communicate effectively with legislative and regulatory policy makers as Congress considers major legislation to reshape the financial services marketplace. The League meets on an on-going, regular basis with key legislators, regulators and policy makers, as well as other industry coalitions and Washington representatives. The League participates in all phases of the legislative process, helps draft and amend bills, and provides testimony for legislative committees. Member involvement in policy development and communications with elected representatives and regulatory officials is fundamental to the success of League efforts. Members are encouraged to express their views, and to be directly involved.
Members are regularly apprised of developments throughout the process.
As part of its advocacy efforts, the League maintains state and federal political action committees to help assure that the industry's perspectives on matters of vital concern to its welfare are given a fair hearing in the deliberative process. The League also publishes newsletters, topical bulletins and reports as part of its efforts to keep members informed of important developments and to provide news relevant to member operations. League publications are designed to provide key information on emerging trends and vital developments affecting the savings industry. A variety of bulletins and reports are produced on an as-needed basis. The League's Annual meetings are held each year featuring leading experts from the investment community, legislative and regulatory officials, and government and thrift industry leaders discussing present trends or problems and anticipating future developments.
