DCUC Hosts Luncheon for 2024 GAC Crashers

​WASHINGTON, DC – On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, the Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) hosted the GAC Crashers for lunch at DCUC Headquarters located in the beautiful Army Navy Building. This unique gathering offered the young professionals crashing this year’s GAC the opportunity to connect and network with current industry leaders in an informal setting.
 
DCUC President/CEO Anthony Hernandez welcomed the crashers by explaining a bit about DCUC and its history with the Crash program. He noted that the leadership of several DCUC member credit unions and other industry partners, such as Plexcity and Filene, were also in attendance. Hernandez recommended the young professionals take time during the casual lunch to ask questions and learn from those who have years of experience in the industry.

​Hernandez also acknowledged how busy the GAC week is and encouraged Crashers to take the time to relax a bit before going back to their afternoon sessions.
 
“The young professionals crashing this year’s GAC are the future of our industry. We must engage with them and show how their impact within their local communities also carries over to the National level,” said Hernandez. “I love to see their energy as they move through the GAC and hope they keep that momentum as they head home and throughout their careers.”
 
DCUC hosts its own Crashers program every year during its Annual Conference. Applications are now open for those interested in crashing DCUC’s Annual Conference, the only conference in the industry that brings the DoD/Military perspective to credit union issues. This year’s Annual Conference will be hosted at the Vinoy from August 12 to August 16 in beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida.
