Last week, Elba Arenas, President and CEO, Brian Wiktor, Chief Lending Officer, Annette Welch, Director of Operations, and Cameron Britt, Financial Analyst, attended the America’s Credit Unions Governmental Affairs Conference. This conference, held in Washington D.C., focused on bringing credit unions together from across the country to advocate for, and against, issues affecting credit unions and their members. Our team also had the opportunity to network with credit union peers, hear from world-class keynote speakers, and highlight the actions that credit unions are taking to improve the financial health and well-being of their members and communities we serve.
We would like to extend a special congratulations to Cameron, who was chosen as the 2025 recipient of the CrossState Paul E. Kanjorski Young Professionals Advocacy Scholarship. The Award is named in recognition of Congressman Paul Kanjorski, who supported many legislative efforts on behalf of credit unions. Kanjorski was a legendary credit union supporter, and CrossState Credit Union Association carries on his legacy by sending a young credit union professional to GAC on an annual basis.
