We’re excited to welcome this engaged group of young credit union professionals to strengthen our industry’s representation in Washington as we come together for the first time as America’s Credit Unions,” said America’s Credit Unions President/CEO Jim Nussle. “Attendees will have plenty to experience at this premiere advocacy event, from expert analysis on economic trends and regulatory impacts to hiking to Capitol Hill and speaking directly with lawmakers on the issues credit unions and their members care about. We welcome all to unforgettable networking opportunities and empowering advocacy efforts that will position them for future success.”
