NEW 'PROJECT ZIP CODE' AVAILABLE
updated 02/22/13 03:53 PM
Updated District Info Will Help CUs
The latest release of Project Zip Code (PZC), version 13.0, is now available for download! It will match credit union members to the newly sworn-in 113th Congress, as well as new state legislative districts.

Click here to download version 13.0 of Project Zip Code.

The PZC national database website, www.pzconline.com, has also been updated with the new district information.

With the release of PZC 13.0, the entire coding platform has been updated. Directions for installation and upload—which are mostly the same—allow the program to work faster. Also, PZC is better at maximizing the number of members matched to their districts.

Perhaps the greatest advancement with this new release is the PZC desktop application. The "Reports and Queries" are now exportable into several formats, including software programs Microsoft Excel, Word and Adobe PDF. This enhancement will allow credit unions to better customize reports for legislators based on their credit union data.

If you have any questions, contact Leagues Manager of Grassroots Advocacy David Creager at dcreager@ccul.org.

Talking Points
If your credit union would like talking points for an issue, such as member business lending (MBL) or supplemental capital, the Leagues' Consumer Advocacy Department can develop one to suit your particular needs.
