​Along with the GAC Crasher Group, they will be attending many of the general sessions as well as special programming just for Crashers.  “The Crasher program will have an enormous impact on the careers, goals, and professional development of these emerging credit union leaders,” says Jeff Olson, DakCU President/CEO.  “Attending the GAC is a great way to enhance and grow your credit union career,” he added.
 
Crashers are selected by The Cooperative Trust and Credit Union National Association (CUNA).  Crash the GAC gives credit union professionals under the age of 35 the chance to attend the biggest credit union event of the year, where they will hear and learn from credit union executives and thought leaders from across the country, including influential legislators, policymakers, and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions. CUNA provides Crashers with a complimentary registration fee to attend the conference, which this year will be virtual due to COVID-19 restrictions.
