Corporate Central has its Crasher!
MILWAUKEE, WI (February 5, 2019) — Corporate Central Credit Union is pleased to announce that Mark Volz has been selected to attend Crash the GAC 2019 by The Cooperative Trust and Credit Union National Association to represent The Wisconsin Credit Union League.
“I am honored and excited to have been selected and to help advocate for credit unions,” said Volz. “We do some amazing work for our members and communities and I’m ready to share those stories with State Legislators and Representatives.”
Crash the GAC is a non-stop, career-changing program for credit union young professionals that allows them to participate in the industry’s largest advocacy conference with complimentary registration, exclusive networking opportunities, leadership development tools, and mentoring sessions with industry leaders from organizations such as Filene Research Institute, CUNA, and National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF).
“The Crashers program is a great opportunity for young credit union professionals, the conference, and the entire movement at large,” said CUNA CEO and President Jim Nussle. “Crashers at the GAC will have the opportunity to network and participate in the premier event of the credit union industry. We will all benefit greatly from their enthusiasm and fresh perspectives as the movement is invigorated by a new generation of advocates.”
CUNA provides Crashers with a complimentary registration fee to attend the conference, and many state leagues and associations provide scholarships or other financial assistance. This year 100 Crashers will attend Crash the GAC representing every state in the nation for the Cooperative Trust’s tenth Crash the GAC event.
“Throughout his young career, Mark has truly demonstrated a passion for the credit union movement,” said Jesse Kohl, Senior Vice President Corporate Development of Corporate Central. “I know he’ll proudly represent our industry by sharing the unique stories of how credit unions empower their members financially and improve the communities in which they serve.”
“As the Cooperative Trust and Crash program grow and evolve, we continue to see positive impact on the careers of young professionals in the credit union space,” says Lauren Culp, Manager of the Cooperative Trust. “As we know developing this next generation of credit union leaders is critical to our success as an industry, we’re thrilled to work with CUNA to offer the opportunity to even more young professionals this year than ever before.”
Crash the GAC and other Crash events throughout the year are designed to spark new ways of thinking and build lasting relationships for young professionals within the credit union industry. Crashers will leave the nation’s capital with a new hunger to help strengthen their communities and organizations. This highly competitive opportunity is a launching pad for many young professionals’ careers and gives them the confidence and insight to make a profound and lasting impact in the industry.
Crash the GAC is brought to you by the Cooperative Trust and Filene Research Institute and is made possible by the generous support of CUNA, and with help from League partners.
