SNELLVILLE, GA – The African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) has partnered with CUNA Mutual Group, a leader in insurance, investment and technology services for credit unions and members, to sponsor the 25th Anniversary AACUC Annual Conference taking place July 16-20, 2023 at the Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort in historic Stone Mountain, GA. 

“We’re excited to partner with the AACUC as the Title Sponsor for its 25th anniversary conference,” said John Cassidy, CUNA Mutual Group’s Director of Credit Union System Relations. “CUNA Mutual Group has been a long-term ally of AACUC’s programs and initiatives because our core values align. We value the challenging yet important work the organization consistently does to increase diversity within our credit union system. The AACUC annual conference is a culmination of everything the organization stands for and the unmatched value it provides its members and supporters.”

The five-day “Legacy”-themed event will focus on learning, laughing and loving the AACUC community and the great outdoors with activities, sessions and award ceremonies poised to inform and inspire while honoring the organization’s past and future. Most events will take place at Stone Mountain Park, a state park designated as a memorial to the Confederacy.

“Since launching our Commitment to Change initiative, we feel strongly about healing, and we recognize the importance of visiting places that caused hurt in our community,” said Renée Sattiewhite, AACUC President/CEO. “While we are headquartered in Atlanta, we intentionally selected to host our conference in Stone Mountain to see the mountain in a different light, specifically from a perspective of power and to motivate and heal collectively.”

The AACUC Annual Conference is one of the organization’s signature events, attended by members, non-members and supporters from across the country. Credit union professionals from all levels of their organizations, credit union board and supervisory committee members, plus individuals from financial services organizations attend the conference for training, networking and educational opportunities.
