The 2020 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference is finally here! 5,000 credit union advocates from all over have once again arrived in Washington D.C., gathering together to celebrate credit unions at “the industry’s largest advocacy event.”

This morning, CUNA president Jim Nussle will deliver a keynote address that will once again be available for live streaming on CUNA’s Facebook page at 9:30 a.m. (ET).

After a message from Nussle, Monday’s featured keynote will be delivered by author, consultant, and speaker, Marcus Buckingham. The former senior researcher with Gallup Organization will challenge credit unions to find the best ways to leverage their employees.

In the afternoon, numerous breakout sessions will be available to attendees, with topics including: the economy, litigation risk, the CU difference, diversity, regulations, and Google Pay.

On Sunday afternoon, the annual ED (Filene) Talk featured photographer Platon. The world-renowned artist regaled the captivated crowd with stories of encounters with photo subjects ranging from world leaders (both noble and corrupt) to celebrities (both famous and infamous).

With the crowd hanging on his every word, Platon spoke on the the power of storytelling and challenged credit unions to “rise up and rekindle the spirit of optimism.”
