Are you an emerging credit union leader looking to grow your professional network, strengthen your leadership skills, and experience the credit union movement on a national stage? Crashing the 2027 GAC could be your opportunity!
Applications are now open for The Cooperative Trust’s annual Crash the GAC program, which brings rising credit union professionals from across the country to Washington, D.C. for a unique experience during America’s Credit Unions’ Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), which occurs from February 28 to March 4, 2027.
Now in its 18th year, Crash the GAC offers participants exclusive educational sessions, opportunities to connect with industry professionals, and the chance to join their state leagues in meetings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Participants also will hear from prominent speakers, take part in conference programming, and build lasting relationships with fellow credit union professionals who share their passion for the movement.
Selected Crashers receive complimentary conference registration, including access to special programming designed specifically for participants. Travel and hotel expenses are the responsibility of the individual or their credit union.
The League encourages employees interested in growing their careers and becoming more involved in the credit union movement to consider applying. This is a wonderful opportunity to represent Maine, build new relationships, and gain experiences that can benefit both you and your credit union.
Applications must be submitted by November 30, 2026. With just over a month remaining, now is a great time to get started! To learn more about the program and apply, click here.
