What a week it has been! From a morning on the greens to end hunger on Wednesday to day one of Elevate 2025, the networking, learning, and celebration of Maine’s vibrant credit union network has been on full display.
Elevate 2025 began with a special presentation to Good Shepherd Food Bank, providing over $230,000 in emergency relief funding to support their critical work. Evergreen CU’s Emma Pierce helped get the formalities underway with a stirring rendition of the national anthem, followed by the League and Synergent’s Annual Meetings. Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed insightful keynotes provided by Rachel DeAlto and Stacie VanDenBerghe, vendor breakouts, the CULAC auction, and some fun at PAC the Pub.
Day two promises just as much excitement, featuring a timely session on fraud and presentations from Tamra Gaines and Simon Bailey. The Convention wouldn’t be complete without our special awards ceremony, happening this evening immediately following dinner in the ballroom. This year’s honorees are sure to inspire with their accomplishments, commitment, and dedication to our shared People Helping People philosophy.
League and Synergent staff will be on-site throughout the day to answer any questions you may have. They also can help connect you to the Ending Hunger Online Auction, which will close at 2:45 pm. Items will be on display outside of the ballroom at the Holiday Inn By the Bay. You won’t want to miss the wide array of gift cards, baskets, sporting events, and household items up for grabs in support of a good cause.
Enjoy your time at Elevate 2025, and thank you for spending part of your week with us in Portland!
