The mission of the League’s Advocacy department is to strengthen and preserve the credit union movement in Tennessee. The Knoxville area Chapter is one of seven chapters in the Tennessee Credit Union League. Each chapter carries on services that tend to promote cooperation among credit unions within the chapters, promote League membership and conduct affairs consistent with credit union development.
