Attending GAC? – Visit Booth #103
If you’ll be at CUNA’s Government Affairs Conference (GAC) Feb. 22-24 at the Washington Convention Center, be sure to stop by our booth. We’ll be stationed next to Children’s Miracle Network, working in tandem to showcase how your sponsorship and fundraising activities help kids in your community.

You’ll have the chance to learn more of our common cause as well as meet the Credit Unions for Kids mascots. Bring your camera in case CMN spokesperson John Schneider is at the booth when you stop by, and pick up a pair of CU4K mascot dolls – a great gift idea you can share with patients at your local Children’s Hospital to help brighten their day!
