Upcoming Meetings and Education Sessions
Plans are underway for a Legislative Affairs Forum you won’t want to miss! Heading into the critical 2020 elections, our featured speakers will be nationally recognized political commentators Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, who host the  Pantsuit Politics  podcast and wrote the book  I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) ,  focusing on restoring civility to political conversations. You’ll also get the latest news on what is happening at the Statehouse and hear about political and regulatory developments impacting credit unions in 2020. 

Following the Forum, our annual reception for state legislators runs from 5 - 7 p.m. and gives credit union leaders the chance to personally interact with their state representatives and senators. The State Legislator Reception continues to be a very important part of the day, as we work to build relationships with the many new legislators who have joined the Indiana General Assembly in recent years.  We strongly encourage you to register for the State Legislator Reception and stay to talk to your legislators about all that your credit union is doing for its members and community.
We know you want to put your best foot forward when it comes to marketing your credit union to the right audiences. Join Tara Kochansky of TwoScore for a session that will give you all you need to energize your current efforts or start something new in 2020. This information-packed day will definitely give you plenty to take back to your credit union and begin using right away.
