Rep. McNulty Earns Spirit of Independence Award


The Independent Bankers of Colorado Presents Representative Frank McNulty
With the Spirit of Independence Award

Vail, CO- The Independent Bankers of Colorado (IBC) awarded Representative Frank McNulty with its 2009 Spirit of Independence Award in Vail Colorado, during the annual membership convention.

The IBC’s Spirit of Independence Award acknowledges lawmakers who stand firm in support of what they believe, often in the face of intense pressure from opposing interest groups and partisan politics. Recipients of this award have a pulse on what is important to their constituents when negotiating key pieces of legislation and work to protect Coloradans.

Representative Frank McNulty serves House District 43, consisting primarily of the Highlands Ranch community. Representative McNulty works for a balanced, secure and responsible energy future that includes traditional, alternative, and renewable sources of energy.

He champions limited government, responsible water policies, and a budget that reflects Colorado’s diverse resources and economic sectors. “Representative McNulty has been a friend to independent community banks since joining the House of Representative in 2006,” said Barbara Walker, Executive Director of the Independent Bankers of Colorado. “He has been a dedicated supporter of the communities we serve, especially small businesses.”

This year, Representative McNulty sponsored key legislation supported by the IBC that establishes the Colorado Division of Housing as the official state foreclosure reporting entity. He led the opposition to the expansion of the Governor’s Energy Office ability to make direct consumer, small business and agricultural loans that undermine the ability of independent community banks and other private lenders to engage in traditional public private partnerships to multiply government funds and projects that support effective and sustainable local economic development.

The Independent Bankers of Colorado represent over 110 community banks doing business in over 500 locations throughout Colorado. The IBC believes in the enhancement and promotion of strong community banks and Main Street prosperity. It is the IBC mission to serve and promote local communities, small businesses, and family farm and ranches throughout Colorado.
