MADISON, Wis. – The Cooperative Trust, more informally known as the Crashers, reported it received a record 200 applications to attend the annual Crash the GAC.
For the first time, applications were received from all 50 states and the District of Columbia to participate in CUNA’s annual Governmental Affairs Conference, the largest CU meeting of the year.
“Without the dedication and hard work from the league system, I don’t think we would have achieved this incredible feat,” says James Marshall, The Cooperative Trust manager at Filene Research Institute. “We knew this would be a big year after falling just short last year and we are very excited to take our biggest group of Crashers ever to learn about and take part in credit union advocacy at this incredible event put on by Credit Union National Association.”
As Crash the GAC enters its sixth year, Crashers now attend conferences and meet-ups all over the credit union and cooperative systems. Crash events provide young, motivated credit union employees with opportunities to take part in top industry events that they might not otherwise be able to attend. In addition to the core schedule of GAC events, Crashers will attend exclusive speaker sessions and explore opportunities for young adults to help promote credit unions locally and nationally.
