Connect, Collaborate, Lead at April’s Small Credit Union Summit in Seattle

Posted by on February 18, 2026

As part of the Small Credit Union Accelerator, GoWest is creating space for small credit union leaders to connect in person through Small Credit Union Summit on Tuesday, April 28.

Taking place at Cedarbrook Lodge in Seattle, this free event will bring together leaders from small GoWest-member credit unions for a day focused on connection, collaboration, and candid conversation.

The Small Credit Union Summit, as well as the monthly virtual Roundtables, offer a casual, interactive setting where leaders can share updates on Accelerator initiatives, exchange ideas, and engage in structured roundtable discussions on timely topics impacting small institutions.

The agenda for the in-person Summit will also include peer discussions and a panel conversation to spark new insights and practical takeaways.

This event has been scheduled the day before the Washington Governmental Affairs Committee (GAC) meeting to help members make the most of their time. If you will be in Seattle for the GAC, you are encouraged to take advantage of this new opportunity to connect with fellow small credit union leaders.

There will be no virtual option for this in-person event. However, we encourage you to stay engaged through the Small Credit Union Accelerator’s virtual Roundtable sessions held throughout the year. These ongoing connections provide additional opportunities to learn, share, and stay informed between our two in-person gatherings.

There is no cost to attend, and the event is open to credit unions with assets up to $250 million. Space will be limited to ensure meaningful conversation and engagement. We hope you’ll join us in April for a day dedicated to strengthening small credit unions through shared insight and community.
