During the week of May 16th through May 20th, the GCUA Annual Meeting and Convention for credit unions was held in Savannah. “Be the Difference” was this year’s theme, and it embodied the spirit in which not only credit unions help people afford life, but how they CHANGE the lives of those in their membership, in their communities, and in their credit unions. Participants heard from state and national leaders of credit unions and other industries who provided strategies, ideas and inspiration to take home and implement to be that “difference” at their institutions.
In the lineup of speakers, credit union participants were treated to insight from the top individuals who regulate credit unions: NCUA Board Member Rick Metsger and Department of Banking and Finance Commissioner Kevin Hagler. These individuals treated credit unions to insight into regulatory focus and legislative changes of note for the industry, and engaged publicly and privately with the participants on their questions in Savannah. To see the Annual Convention in a social media snapshot you can do so on Twitter or Instagram utilizing the hashtag #CUinSavannah, but the best way to experience it is live. Make plans to join your credit union peers next year from May 16th – 19th, 2018.
