Credit union movement gathers again at GAC
Attendees of 2022 conference share experience on social media.
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.

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 #crashthegac22 pic.twitter.com/aC5b4ovavP
