The credit union movement has returned to Washington, D.C., this week for the 2022 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC). The advocacy event, which started Sunday and runs through Thursday, brings credit union leaders from around the country to discuss the movement, share ideas, and celebrate credit unions' impact.
After last year's virtual conference due to the pandemic, attendees returned to GAC Sunday and Monday ready to share their experience on social media with #CUNAGAC, #CUdifference, and #crashtheGAC.

“In times of difficulty, your true character comes through. We built on our #creditunion reputation in the last two years. When your members are in trouble, you’re among the first places people have turned to—their #financialfirstresponders.”
It's more than the drive-thru, location, catchy marketing, it's what happens inside that makes the credit union difference. People helping people. #CUDifference@CUNA#CUNAGAC
If we believe credit unions are special, we must actually be special….Telling our credit union story and backing it up with data is why we’re here today. #CUNAGAC#crashthegac22pic.twitter.com/aC5b4ovavP
