Kevin Carroll announced as CUNA GAC keynoter
WASHINGTON, DC (February 28, 2022) — Credit Union National Association (CUNA) today announced Kevin Carroll as a keynote speaker for Monday at the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC). Carroll replaces Chef and Humanitarian José Andrés who has traveled to Poland to work with his nonprofit World Central Kitchen (WCK) to aid the growing number of displaced Ukrainians.
“José Andrés truly embodies the ‘people helping people’ philosophy, and while we’re sorry to miss him, we’re thrilled Kevin is able to join us with his inspiring message designed to help us all move forward in pursuit of greatness,” said CUNA Chief Products and Services Officer Todd Spiczenski.
Carroll is a firm believer in the “red rubber ball” as his metaphor. It stems from his difficult childhood in Philadelpha, the power of play, and the pursuit of his personal best. He will speak to the CUNA GAC Monday morning at the General Session.
Carroll’s background includes a decade in the Air Force, time as a trainer with the Philadelphia 76ers, and a seven-year stint with Nike—which created a position specifically for him and where Carroll earned his “Katalyst” nickname.
He later started The Katalyst Consultancy and has dedicated his life to advancing sports and play as a vehicle for social change and a way to show others how to chase their own “red rubber ball.” Carroll is also the author of four books, which build on these life-affirming themes.
