After spending a week with more than 200 league and credit union leaders at the AACUL Winter Conference, one thing is crystal clear: we need each other to succeed.
Whether you look at individual credit unions serving their members or at America’s Credit Unions and the League System, our strength comes from collaboration and shared commitment to our mission. That’s why our 2026 advocacy priorities are designed to organize and focus our efforts, complementing what Leagues and credit unions are doing nationwide. These priorities were shaped by direct input from credit unions to address the real challenges facing our movement. Every institution approaches these challenges differently, but the cooperative finance model is built on a simple truth: working together for the greater good.
