The 2026 Volunteers’ Conference Kicks Off Today!


The wait is over! The Maine Credit Union League’s 2026 Volunteers’ Conference kicks off today, October 23, at the Samoset Resort in Rockport! We are thrilled to welcome credit union leaders and board members from across the state for two days of timely education, engaging conversations, and opportunities to connect with colleagues throughout Maine’s credit union movement.

Each year, this conference provides a special opportunity to recognize and connect with the dedicated volunteers who give their time, expertise, and leadership to help Maine’s credit unions thrive. Their commitment to serving members, strengthening their institutions, and upholding the People Helping People philosophy is an essential part of what makes our movement so special. We are grateful for all they do throughout the year and look forward to spending time with them this weekend.

Beyond the educational sessions—which will highlight insights on evolving governance practices, artificial intelligence, the unique value of the credit union model, and the changing merger landscape—attendees will have plenty of opportunities to reconnect with peers, exchange ideas, and enjoy time together, including tonight’s dinner with entertainment from Julia Gagnon.

To all of our credit union volunteers and leaders joining us this weekend, welcome! We can’t wait to see you, hear your perspectives, and celebrate the dedication you bring to your credit unions and the communities they serve. Here’s to a wonderful weekend of learning, collaboration, and connection at the Samoset!
