MADISON, Wis., and WASHINGTON (December 6, 2018) – Credit Union National Association (CUNA) today announced that Malcolm Gladwell, author of New York Times bestselling books such as The Tipping Point and Blink, will deliver a keynote address at the 2019 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.

“We’re extremely proud to have Mr. Gladwell presenting at this year’s conference,” said Todd Spiczenski, chief products and services officer at CUNA. “His work has been and continues to be thought-provoking and transformative, and like the credit union movement, aims to challenge long-held misconceptions.”

CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference is the largest credit union advocacy event, gathering more than 5,000 credit union leaders annually to Washington D.C. to network, learn about the latest issues and hot topics in the credit union industry and meet with lawmakers to make a case for fair regulation on behalf of the more than 110 million credit union members nationwide.
