The 2020 Credit Union National Association’s Governmental Affairs Conference (CUNA GAC) will begin February 23 – 26 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. CUNA GAC is the premier event for political impact in the credit union industry, gathering thousands of industry leaders to remind policymakers how credit unions advance communities and empower financial well-being.
Credit unions annually provide $18.9 billion in total financial benefit to consumers across the country through higher savings and returns, lower loan rates and fewer fees.
This annual event will feature a slew of congressional speakers, keynote addresses and breakout session panelists throughout the week.
