In this episode of With Flying Colors, I sit down with Elizabeth Eurgubian, Partner at Atlas Advocacy and former Director of External Affairs and Communications at the NCUA. Elizabeth brings a wealth of experience spanning the Federal Reserve, CFPB, Sallie Mae, ICBA, CUNA, and her time inside the regulator’s office.

We discuss:

• Her unique career path from attorney at the Fed to trade association leadership to NCUA’s front office
• The critical role of the Office of External Affairs and Communications (OAC) in shaping policy and messaging
• Insights into working for Chairman Todd Harper and navigating political appointee roles
• The art of preparing NCUA leadership for congressional testimony (“murder boards”)
• How credit union comment letters really influence regulation
• Why relationships and follow-up are the currency of Washington advocacy
• Her current work with Atlas Advocacy and DCUC

Whether you’re a credit union leader, policy professional, or industry observer, this episode gives you an insider’s perspective on how advocacy and regulation intersect at the highest levels.
