Dear MCUL Affiliated Credit Union CEOs, Board Directors, Committee Members & Interested Staff,
The CURE Defense Fund Board of Trustees has allocated 100% of the funds generated from the Annual Golf Outing to assist credit union officials willing to participate in important grassroots advocacy programs. Thanks to the generous support of credit unions and vendors, $16,598 (net) was raised at this year’s event to fund scholarship opportunities in 2009. This program is designed to provide financial assistance to credit union officials who would otherwise be unable to attend these events. Therefore preference will be given to first-time attendees and those individuals demonstrating financial need.
The 2009 CUNA GAC is scheduled for February 22-26 at the Washington Convention Center and the CURE Defense Fund Board of Trustees has allocated $12,500 to specifically fund scholarships to this premier credit union event in Washington, D.C. A full scholarship will cover: Conference Registration, 4-night hotel accommodations and roundtrip airfare for no more than $2,500.
The following scholarship eligibility criteria for the 2009 CUNA GAC will apply:
· Participant’s credit union must have raised 100% of either their 2007 or 2008 Federal and State PAC goals.
