Join thousands of credit union professionals in Washington, D.C., where you’ll engage with lawmakers and make a lasting impact on the credit union industry. Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) is the credit union industry's largest and most impactful advocacy event. Each year, credit union leaders from across the country come together in Washington, D.C. to meet with lawmakers, explore key policy issues, and amplify the credit union voice. 

Through high-level keynotes, targeted policy sessions, and in-person meetings on Capitol Hill, GAC prepares attendees to take action and influence change. The experience fosters stronger relationships, deeper understanding of advocacy priorities, and momentum that carries forward throughout the year.
