GoWest is excited to introduce a new membership benefit as part of the Small Credit Union Accelerator: an in-person Small Credit Union Summit designed exclusively for small credit union leaders.

Taking place Tuesday, April 28, 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.

Small Credit Union Summits offer a casual, interactive setting where leaders can share updates on Accelerator initiatives, exchange ideas, and participate in structured discussions on timely topics affecting small institutions. The agenda for this in-person event will include peer discussion and a panel conversation to spark new insights and practical takeaways.

We’ve intentionally scheduled this event the day before the Governmental Affairs Committee meeting to help members make the most of their time. If you’re already planning to be in the Seattle area, consider extending your stay to take advantage of this new opportunity to connect with fellow small credit union leaders.

Please note that 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 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, but 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.
