All contest winners have been notified, and credit unions have until January 22, 2022 to designate their GAC attendee. If no attendee is designated by that date, the registration is forfeited. Congratulations to the following credit unions for winning Credit Union Awareness’s GAC 2022 Contest:
Credit unions could enter for a chance to win (1) one free GAC in-person registration valued at $1,195. Winning credit unions were chosen at random from new 3-year contribution agreements or 3-year renewals in launched states created and executed between July 1, 2021 and October 31, 2021.
