Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey has once again been selected for Washingtonian magazine's 500 Most Influential People feature, as part of the publication’s banking and finance list.

Following the latest acquisition of a tax-paying community bank by a tax-exempt credit union, ICBA continued its call for Congress to eliminate the federal tax exemption for credit unions over $1 billion in assets.

With Congress potentially taking up tax legislation when it returns from the current congressional recess, ICBA is calling on community bankers to urge their lawmakers to co-sponsor legislation that would provide tax relief to support rural lending.
