Meet Our 2025 GAC ‘Crashers’

Along with their ‘home’ credit unions, the Cooperative Credit Union Association is proud to have these enthusiastic young professionals joining our Advocacy program at this year’s Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, DC. As ‘Crashers’ they will have a busy week immersed in credit union advocacy and culture, fueling their credit union passion, and learning how to make their voice count.
