I am certainly looking forward to hanging out and networking with our fantastic credit union members this week at our 18th Dakota Credit Union Annual Meeting and Summit at Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort.
​
Our many strategic business partners and solution providers who attend the Summit are instrumental in supporting your association and our member credit unions throughout the year. I would like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to them; we greatly appreciate their efforts!

Many of our solution providers attend the Summit for the opportunity to engage and say hello to our member credit unions. We also want to remind you that these partners work closely with us, constantly improving the products and services we offer to our members, ensuring we can assist you in keeping the credit union movement relevant and growing. A number of these providers you are familiar with, and there will be some new faces this year as well!

We also lean on our strategic partners for thought leadership and education, and we have plenty to offer with this year’s Summit breakout sessions. For example, ViClarity will be joining us to help us understand succession planning from a regulatory standpoint. Strategic Resource Management (SRM) will explore the power or AI for credit unions, along with sessions on board recruitment and leadership, cracking the code on GenZ. We will also have labor and employment law updates from (respectively) FarWell and Sparrow and Jackson Lewis, PC, new partners of your Dakota Credit Union Association.  

A very special thank you goes to TruStage, our one true system partner and premier event sponsor. We would also like to recognize Millennium Corporate Credit Union for once again sponsoring our Summit Crasher program, and the many other exhibitors and sponsors, too numerous to list here. You can find more information by downloading our DakCU mobile event app, and see who is currently set to be at Summit by scrolling to the bottom of the page here for the full list of our 2024 sponsors: dakcu.org/agenda.html.
 
For those of you in attendance, I encourage you to check out the exhibitor booths to learn more about the various products and services being showcased. Don’t forget to sign up for some fabulous door prizes!
