We are pleased to announce that Jason Shonerd, LincOne FCU, has been selected to attend Crash the GAC 2020 by the Cooperative Trust and CUNA to represent the Nebraska Credit Union League!
Crash the GAC is the largest Crash Filene organizes each year. It is a non-stop, career-changing program for young professionals that allows them to participate in the industry’s largest advocacy conference with complimentary registration, exclusive networking opportunities, leadership tools, and mentoring sessions with industry leaders from organizations such as Filene Research Institute, National Credit Union Foundation, and CUNA.
“The Crashers bring so much energy and passion to the CUNA GAC,” said CUNA CEO and President Jim Nussle. “I always look forward to meeting each new group, knowing that these folks are the people that will lead our movement in the future. I am so impressed with this year’s class and I am excited where this leadership opportunity takes them in their careers. CUNA is proud to join Filene and the Cooperative Trust to make this special program possible year after year.”
CUNA provides Crashers with a complimentary registration fee to attend the conference, and the League provides additional financial assistance to ensure Nebraska’s Crasher has no out-of-pocket expenses.
“Congratulations to Jason for being selected as Nebraska’s GAC Crasher,” said Scott Sullivan, League President & CEO. “We are excited Jason will have the opportunity to experience the importance and value of advocacy firsthand.”
“We are excited to introduce the next generation of leaders to this life-changing experience,” Filene’s Director for Community Development, Cortney Angeley, commented. “The Cooperative Trust and the Crasher Program provides exceptional experiences to help emerging leaders develop their careers. Most importantly, the connections made at CUNA GAC are a catalyst to build a life-long network of passionate credit union advocates.”
Crash the GAC and other Crash events throughout the year are designed to spark new ways of thinking and building lasting relationships for emerging leaders within the credit union industry. Crashers will leave the nation’s capital with a new hunger to help strengthen their communities and organizations. For the full list of 2020 Crash Events, visit http://www.cooperativetrust.com.
Crash the GAC is sponsored by the Cooperative Trust from Filene Research Institute and is made possible by the generous support of CUNA and the Leagues.
