PODCAST: A revamped, reenergized GAC

'Whether you're a savvy veteran or a newbie, you're going to have an experience like no other.'

February 22, 2024

The credit union movement is preparing for its annual trip to Washington, D.C.

The 2024 Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), scheduled for March 3-7, will look a bit different, however.

What can attendees expect from the first GAC under the banner of America’s Credit Unions? A revamped, reenergized feel, according to America’s Credit Unions’ chief association services officer Todd Spiczenski.

“Every year is unique, but this year feels like it's taken on a bigger evolution with the merger of CUNA and NAFCU,” Spiczenski says. “We’re building on the foundation of what our members love about GAC. Whether you're a savvy veteran or a newbie, you're going to have an experience like no other. You’re going to see some new and different things.”

Spiczenski stopped by the podcast to share all the new features and speakers, and describe the familial, collaborative atmosphere that has made GAC the movement’s banner advocacy event.

“If this is your first time, you're going to be blown away by the experience,” Spiczenski says. “The energy is second to none. It's a large group of people from all over the country united in a common theme of people helping people. It creates this genuine, authentic experience.”
