Thank you for registering to attend the 2017 Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) – “Powerful Cause Positive Effect.” There are many powerful reasons to attend: must-see speakers, in-depth educational sessions, impact on with our congressional delegation, and making credit union connections. We appreciate your willingness to represent your credit union in the most important government-related gathering likely to be held this year.

While ’s congressional delegation and staff may seem like ohana to us, we aren’t traveling to DC only to visit. We bring more than our aloha, warm greetings, and warm hearts. We are on a mission – credit union style – to familiarize Senators Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono, as well as Congresswomen Tulsi Gabbard and Colleen Hanabusa, to support retaining the credit unions’ tax exempt status, reducing regulatory burden on credit unions, holding merchants accountable for data breaches, and enhancing the federal credit union charter.

Although our major concerns and issues are known to some of our congressional delegation, your presence at Capitol Hill visits helps our federal lawmakers get to know our issues in a way that goes beyond what written narrative and numbers convey. It is our intention to bring into clear focus during visits the importance to your credit union of gaining congressional support on these legislative matters.

Please refer to subsequent parts of this packet for additional information on these issues. The information is current as of February 10, 2017, and may be supplemented by additional briefing materials if new information becomes available.

Tips on the GAC and Related Activities Most of us are fortunate to be staying at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. It is connected via an underground concourse to the Convention Center, where the GAC exhibit hall, general and breakout sessions will be held. The hotel’s convenient short walk under the street level to the convention center ensures inclement weather won’t hamper your experience.

Please leave your contact information with HCUL Governmental Affairs Director Paula Sumimoto-Matsushima after you check-in. Paula will be staying at the Marriott Marquis and can be contacted there or by mobile phone at 808.551.1651. You can also text your information to her mobile phone.

If you want updates via text messaging, please provide Paula a mobile phone number which can receive messages while in DC. This will be helpful during the Hill Visits.

If you have a smartphone or tablet, CUNA has a mobile app for Android and Apple phones and tablets. Simply go to Android’s Play Store or Apple’s App Store, and search for “GAC 2017” to download the free app. Among the app’s features are the conference agenda, list of registered attendees, exhibit hall prize winners, exhibitors, exhibit hall map, speakers, shuttle schedule, and up-to-the-minute notifications from CUNA.

Page 2 Current as of 02/02/17 Business attire (coat and tie for men, and suit or dress for women) is strongly recommended for all GAC sessions, Tuesday night dinner at the Chinatown Garden Restaurant, Wednesday Capitol Hill visits, and Wednesday night conference gala event at the Marriott Marquis. Informal attire is appropriate for only the Monday night briefing dinner meeting at Clyde’s of Gallery Place restaurant.

During the briefing dinner meeting on Monday Feb 27, Scot Tsuchiyama will be selling tickets for the CULAC (Credit Union Legislative Action Council) sweepstakes. Tickets are $10 each and are not tax deductible. Please bring personal credit card or check made payable to CULAC, if you are interested in participating. Credit card contributions to CULAC will be also accepted at the CULAC booth outside the convention center’s Exhibit Hall on the Washington Convention Center’s L Street Bridge. Please reference Hawaii when making purchases there, so credit is given to our efforts. This year they will not accept any cash contributions, so please provide a personal credit card or check. A flyer with the grand prize is in your packet, along with many other prizes donated by leagues across the nation.

Winter weather in DC is volatile, so bring appropriate winter clothing – coats, gloves, etc. and dress in layers since most indoor facilities are heated. Exercise extreme care when walking on snow or ice. Rubber-sole shoes are safer than leather-sole shoes in such conditions. If anyone becomes ill or injured, please inform Paula Sumimoto-Matsushima on her mobile phone at 808.551.1651.

Capitol Hill Visits We will meet on the Convention Center’s L Street Bridge in front of the exhibit hall’s main entrance promptly at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 24. We will travel as a group and catch the Metrorail subway from the Convention Center to Union Station. We should be able to grab a quick lunch at Union Station’s food court before proceeding to our Hill visits at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center.

Entrances to the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center and congressional buildings have high security, much like airport security, so the recommendation is to travel light. Prohibited items will be confiscated by security personnel when entering government buildings.

We learned President Trump will be there the day before so security will be extra strict on the days before and after his visit. Absolutely no food (whether to be consumed or given as gifts), beverages, or other banned items should be brought to those facilities.

Prohibited Items U.S. Capitol Visitor Center policies are designed to keep visitors and staff safe and secure, and to preserve the collections, facilities, and historic building and grounds for generations to come.

Before entering the Capitol Visitor Center, all visitors are screened by a magnetometer and all items that are permitted inside the building are screened by an x-ray device. The following items are strictly prohibited in the Capitol, including the Capitol Visitor Center:

• Liquids, including water • Food or beverages of any kind, including fruit and unopened packaged food • Aerosol containers • Non-aerosol spray (Prescriptions for medical needs are permitted.)

Page 3 Current as of 02/02/17 • Any pointed object, e.g. knitting needles and letter openers (Pens and pencils are permitted.) • Any bag larger than 18" wide x 14" high x 8.5" deep • Electric stun guns, martial arts weapons or devices • Guns, replica guns, ammunition, and fireworks • Knives of any size • Mace and pepper spray • Razors and box cutters

We are scheduled to meet with Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa, Senator Mazie Hirono, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and Senator Brian Schatz at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00 p.m., respectively, in the Capitol Visitor Center, SVC 201. The Capitol Visitor Center entrance is on 1st St SE and E Capitol St NE, which is four and a half blocks away from the Union Station stop of the Metrorail’s red line. Please be prompt and check-in at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center’s appointment desk for your visitor’s pass.

Many Hawaii credit union officials at the 2017 CUNA GAC are seasoned veterans of previous conferences, though there will be a number of new attendees. Please show our aloha to colleagues unfamiliar with Washington, D.C. We look out for each other as an ohana, extending the same helpful spirit we hope would be extended to ourselves and our families.

We have an excellent opportunity to communicate effectively with our congressional delegation about our “people helping people” philosophy and important legislative issues. What we say matters, so let’s say things clearly and in a respectful manner.

Please review the information provided to you regarding the issues we face as a movement comprised of not-for-profit financial cooperatives serving the financial needs of Hawaii residents. GAC general and breakout sessions will provide additional information to help us better understand the challenges we face, and to share legislative solutions that will benefit our members.

Mahalo for giving your time and resources to be part of this noble mission.

Hotel Marriott Marquis Hotel (901 Massachusetts Ave, NW - phone 202-824-9200) Page 11 Current as of 02/02/17 Explanations of the Tax Exemption Letter

The NCUA is providing a revised Tax Exemption Letter for immediate use by all federal credit unions. Federal credit unions can obtain the revised Tax Exemption Letter by accessing the NCUA’s website, or by specifically requesting it from the NCUA’s Office of General Counsel. The revised Tax Exemption Letter replaces the previous letter provided to federal credit unions.

Why has the Tax Exemption Letter been revised?

The need for the new letter stems from consultations with the Department of Justice following complaints by several state tax authorities.

The state tax authorities have primarily taken issue with the previous exemption letter in connection with employee travel. The states are ruling that a credit union employee is not exempt from sales and/or use tax if he pays for travel lodging directly, even though the employee is on official business and will be receiving reimbursement. The states will allow for the exemption only when the credit union makes direct payment.

The rationale behind not allowing the exemption is that the legal incidence of the tax falls on the employee. That is, when the employee procures a hotel room while traveling on official business it is the employee that is incurring the tax, not the credit union. The credit union is not a party to the transaction. The fact that the credit union reimburses the employee for the expenses, and thereby assumes the economic burden of the total cost of the lodging, including the tax, does not mean that the credit union is being taxed.

The states’ position is in line with long standing treatment of U.S. Government employees traveling on official business. In fact, both DOJ, and the Comptroller General have found that purchases of lodgings by a federal employee traveling on government business are exempt from tax only when payment is made directly by the federal government pursuant to direct billing. Consequently, since credit unions are federal instrumentalities and are exempt from taxation in much the same fashion as the federal government, it is appropriate for a state to deny a tax exemption to a credit union employee paying for his lodgings.

Accordingly, to more accurately reflect the government-wide interpretation regarding the availability of tax exemptions for federal instrumentalities, the NCUA is issuing the revised tax exemption letter.

When can a federal credit union use the Tax Exemption Letter?

The revised Tax Exemption Letter can only be used when a federal credit union is making payment by direct billing, or payment is made via a credit card issued in the credit union’s name. For example, an employee staying in a hotel may not use the revised Tax Exemption Letter if that employee is paying for the lodging and then subsequently receiving reimbursement for payment. This prohibition even includes situations where an employee utilizes a corporate credit card, if that card is billed directly to the employee. The federal credit union must make direct payment to receive the exemption.

Are employees ever entitled to an exemption from hotel or occupancy taxes when payment is not made directly by a credit union?

Yes. Several states and cities have specifically exempted federal employees from paying a hotel occupancy

Page1 12 Current as of 02/02/17 tax. As such, federal credit union employees may be entitled to a tax exemption, because federal credit unions are viewed as federal instrumentalities. These specific exemptions usually apply regardless of the payment method. Thus, employees should continue to inquire whether they are entitled to a tax exemption when paying for lodging.

Higher yields on savings $19.1 Million Lower fees $7.9 Million If Hawaii banks were structured like credit unions, the $4.7 Lower loan rates $45.7 Million billion banks paid in stockholder dividends over the past decade would have instead been paid to small depositors in the state. Savings to non-members $28.3 Million Total Member Benefits $73 Million Building Stronger Communities Unlike banks, Hawaii credit unions are locally owned and controlled. Credit unions offer full and fair service to all of their member-owners, and credit union membership tends to be concentrated in the working class. Credit unions also do not shy away from serving their members where they are most needed. Overall, 49% of U.S. credit union branches are located in CDFI investment areas, compared to only 42% of bank branches in such areas.

Government data shows that Hawaii credit unions approve 74.9% of total mortgage applica ons from low/moderate income borrowers. Contrary to what Hawaii bankers would have you believe, the state’s low/moderate income consumers should include credit unions in their mortgage shopping plans -simply put they’re more likely to get the loan they want.

Serving Tax-Paying Americans Credit union consumer owners are tax paying Americans. These taxpayers already bear a substan al income tax burden. Taxing credit unions is a addi onal tax on 106 million credit union members including 810,487 members in the state of Hawaii.

Hawaii credit union members paid an es mated total of $11.9 billion in state and federal income taxes during the most recent federal tax year.

Taxing credit unions would do very li le in terms of addressing government budget issues. For example, if credit unions were taxed in 2016, the receipts would have accounted for only 0.07% of federal spending, which would fund federal government opera ons for only 5.8 hours.

HIKE THE HILL MEETING ETIQUETTE

Remember: • Dress for a business meeting – Your attire will be noticed if it is not business dress. • Timeliness matters – Show up on time or five minutes early. Lawmakers’ and staff’s time is constantly in flux, and being late could result in reduced face-to-face time. More often than not, your meeting will start late because the person with which you are meeting is running late, but do not let that affect your presentation. • One of many – Lawmakers and staff hold dozens of meetings a week on a wide range of policy issues. are not credit union “experts.” Be patient, clear, and concise when discussing the issues. Some offices may need more explanation than others. Mix facts with pertinent anecdotes. Hill offices love facts (especially from constituents), but it is often a personal story that sells the importance of an issue. • Show appreciation – Be sure to thank lawmakers for past support of credit unions, and also thank lawmakers who pledge to support credit unions going forward. • Take turns speaking – Identify a point person for each topic to speak on behalf of the group. This approach is a confirmation that the group stands as one on the issue. Try to reinforce, not repeat, information and stay on point. Your meeting will likely be no more than 15 minutes, so do not get sidetracked with chit-chat. Small talk is fine, but do not let it dominate the meeting. • Know with whom you are meeting – While it is great to meet with a , often you may end up meeting with a staff person. Here is a list of common terms used in a DC Congressional office:

o Chief of Staff (COS): This is the top ranking staff person and the one who is closest to the member. The COS’s word is essentially the member’s word.

o Legislative Director (LD): This is the staff person who manages the legislative staff and is responsible for managing all of the issue areas in the office. The LD may have his/her own issues portfolio as well as coordinating those of the legislative assistants. o Legislative Assistant (LA): This is an area specialist who has a list of issues they handle for the office, usually related in some way under headings like “commerce,” “tax,” or “financial services” issues. The LA is the mid-level person most familiar with your issues and is most likely the person with whom you’ll meet.

o Legislative Correspondent (LC): This is an entry-level person in the office who mainly deals with constituent requests and communications. The LC will sometimes fill-in for a LA on a meeting. Many LCs go on to higher positions in an office, so treat them nicely. o Scheduler: This is the gatekeeper for the office. The Scheduler handles the member’s schedule and, in some cases, the meeting schedule for the office. If you treat the Scheduler with respect, it will get you far in the office.

Page 22 Current as of 02/02/17

• It’s OK to disagree sometimes – It’s great to have a lawmaker on your side on every issue. But that’s not commonplace. Expect to disagree sometimes, but don’t let disagreements define relationships. • Exchange business cards – Even someone who is good with names may not remember who stopped by on any given day based on the number of people that visit. Exchange business cards. If you do not have a card, ask for a card and be sure to email your contact information to them afterwards. • Make your point clear – Deliver a “leave behind” document to reinforce things discussed at the meeting, and make your ask. Always end your meeting asking the member or staff whether they will support your position. Often you will get an ambiguous answer, but politely press them on when you can expect an answer. • Express appreciation – Thank them for taking the time to meet with you! • Follow up and let CUNA know how your meeting went – About a week after the meeting, follow up with the staffer. Thank them for their time and if there are any lingering questions. Let CUNA know if there are any outstanding issues that need their attention.

Hill Tips: The numbering system for House Office Buildings is building + floor + room number. So a meeting in 2243 is a meeting in Rayburn 2nd floor, room 43, where Cannon = no number (243), Longworth = 1 (1243), and Rayburn = 2 (2243).

• Rayburn is shaped like a spider, so the room numbers may not be sequential when walking the halls. Use the maps in the corridors to find the quickest ways to your meetings.

Avoid: • Expressing disappointment for meeting with staff only or commenting on their age – While many staffers are young, many are very well-educated and were hand-picked by their boss to represent them on the issues about which you are meeting. • Expressing disappointment or concern about a meeting’s location – Space in Hill offices is very limited. Be respectful of the space and other staffers in the office. A meeting is a meeting regardless of where it’s held. • Confusing issues – Act as a credit union ambassador, not a political partisan. Credit union issues are not partisan; do not express your personal opinions about other issues. • Never, ever lie in your meeting – If you do not know something, be honest and say so, but promise to send more information in the near future. • Holding a grudge or having low expectations – Someone who might not have been on our side on an issue last session, might be our champion this session. • Discussing campaign contributions – Do not, under any circumstances, bring up a campaign contribution or threaten a member or staffer to not vote for them. It destroys your credibility and may even be illegal.

Lobbying is a process, not an event. Use your Hill meetings to build or renew the credit union relationship with your elected officials and their staff.

Traveling on the Metro (Subway) System

Tips: • Consider purchasing a SmarTrip® reloadable card, you will save $1 more on each trip rather than the paper ticket.

• A SmarTrip® card is a permanent, rechargeable card used to pay Metrorail and local bus system fares. It's plastic, like a credit card, and is embedded with a special computer chip that keeps track of the value of the card.

• Using a SmarTrip® card is fast and easy. Instead of inserting a farecard through the Metrorail faregate slot, you simply touch the SmarTrip® card to the circular targets on top of or inside station faregates. Likewise, you can tap the SmarTrip® farebox on Metrobus to pay your fare with SmarTrip®. • The credits don’t expire on the card, so you can use it for future trips to GAC.

• The card costs $2.
