As TruStage marks 90 years of serving the credit union community, we extend our appreciation for this long-standing and deeply valued partnership. TruStage’s support plays a vital role in protecting the operating environment for credit unions, expanding education opportunities, and helping us give back to the communities we serve.

TruStage’s unwavering commitment to the credit union movement is evident in the $159 million contributed over the past five years to support industry initiatives. Earlier this year, when credit unions faced significant legislative and regulatory threats, TruStage stepped forward, providing $250,000 to preserve credit unions’ tax-exempt status and another $250,000 to defend the current interchange fee structure. Their leadership made a meaningful difference at a critical moment.

We are also grateful for TruStage’s support of our signature events, including CONNECT, our annual meeting and convention, which brings the region’s credit union community together for inspiration, learning, and connection. Their recent pop-up education session on fraud prevention was timely and well-received by our members.

TruStage continues to be a strong partner in developing future credit union leaders. Their sponsorship of our Emerging Leader Award Program, including hosting participants at their Madison headquarters, provides an invaluable experience that helps shape the next generation of industry leadership.

Their impact also extends to communities across the country. As a major supporter of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, TruStage has donated nearly $1 million since 2022, including through marquee events like the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile & 5K here in the District.

As the holiday season begins, we are reminded how fortunate we are to have a partner like TruStage that leads with the industry’s “people helping people” philosophy. We appreciate their continued support and look forward to working together in the year ahead.
