The stage is set, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for the 2025 Chairman’s Challenge! Will South Dakota secure a historic three-peat, or will North Dakota come off the bench to pull the upset?

Chairman’s Challenge Kicking Off Next Week
It’s time for South Dakota’s National PAC Chair Chad Moller and North Dakota’s Chair Paul Brucker to go head-to-head at the 2025 GAC Chairman’s Challenge in Washington, D.C., from March 2-6. But this is not just about bragging rights—it’s about strengthening our advocacy efforts. Every dollar raised in this challenge helps us defend against taxation threats, amplify our voice with lawmakers, and ensure credit unions remain a powerhouse in financial services. Additionally, every contribution you provide also gives you the chance to WIN sweepstakes prizes every day from March 2-6.

About Our Political Action Committees
At the state level, DakCU PAC is grassroots fundraising vehicle, while the America’s Credit Unions PAC is our national fundraising vehicle. These funds directly support candidates who champion credit unions in South Dakota and North Dakota at the state and federal levels.

Now’s the time to step up, take the shot, and be part of something bigger.

• Have questions on getting involved? Contact Chesney Garnos or John Alexander to find out if you and your credit union are eligible to participate.

Let’s make this year’s Chairman’s Challenge one to remember! And if you know me, I’m rooting for a South Dakota 3-peat!
