Congratulations to Melissa Cline and Noah Trautmann as they prepare to attend the biggest credit union event of the year in Washington, DC.
​Madison, WI – Filene Research Institute has announced the newest group of elite emerging credit union leaders to participate in The Cooperative Trust’s award-winning Crash program at this year’s Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington D.C.
  • Representing South Dakota this year will be Melissa Cline (shown left), Administrative Assistant, Black Hills Federal Credit Union (Rapid City).
  • Representing North Dakota will be Noah Trautmann (shown right), Member Services Representative, United Savings Credit Union (Fargo). 
Each Dakota Crasher will receive a $1,000 GAC Scholarship from DakCU to assist with expenses. “Our association is proud to provide financial assistance for this important national experience,” stated DakCU President/CEO Jeff Olson. “The best way to ensure a strong leadership bench is to invest in the young talent in the credit union industry, and this is one way we encourage Dakota credit union staff to further engage in the movement,” he added.

While this year marks the 15th “Crash the GAC” event, it is the first to be hosted by America’s Credit Unions. The event scheduled to take place March 3 – 7 brings together industry leaders and advocates to discuss critical issues facing the credit union landscape. America’s Credit Unions generously covers the registration costs for 51 Crashers to attend the nation’s largest credit union event, presenting a tremendous opportunity for these young professionals to attend. The Cooperative Trust is thrilled to bring along seven additional Crashers who were sponsored by their credit unions.

The 2024 Crash the GAC delegation comprises 58 talented credit union professionals from across the country who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to the credit union movement. These emerging leaders have played pivotal roles within their credit unions and have shown a commitment to advancing the values and principles that define the industry.

“Congratulations to this year’s class of GAC Crashers! We’re excited to welcome this engaged group of young credit union professionals to strengthen our industry’s representation in Washington as we come together for the first time as America’s Credit Unions,” said America’s Credit Unions President/CEO Jim Nussle. “Attendees will have plenty to experience at this premiere advocacy event, from expert analysis on economic trends and regulatory impacts to hiking to Capitol Hill and speaking directly with lawmakers on the issues credit unions and their members care about. We welcome all to unforgettable networking opportunities and empowering advocacy efforts that will position them for future success.”

America’s Credit Unions was legally formed Jan. 1 – by the merger of Credit Union National Association and the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions – to provide a strong, united voice to advance the credit union industry.

“Each year we welcome a unique group of talented and passionate credit union super stars,” said Filene’s Community Development Director, Cortney Arnold. “Crashers go on to make real impact in the credit union system and our incoming cohort of amazing folks will be sure to dazzle with their collective power and expertise. This Crasher class is one to watch!”

Crash the GAC is brought to you by The Cooperative Trust from Filene Research Institute and is made possible by the generous support of America’s Credit Unions, and with help from League partners. ​
