Rock CONNECT 2026!
Application Deadline: April 17
What is the Rocker Program?
The Rocker Program was inspired by the "Crash" program originally developed by The Cooperative Trust to bring a group of young professionals to the GAC. Participants are credit union professionals (40 & under, or "40 at heart") who are sponsored to attend a conference with additional content designed especially for emerging leaders. The MD|DC Credit Union Association is thrilled to bring this innovative concept to CONNECT 2026 for its fourth year. Instead of Crashers, our conference has Rockers. So rad.
Rock CONNECT 2026
CONNECT 2026 will take place May 31-June 2 at the Convention Center in Ocean City, MD. Rockers receive free conference registration courtesy of generous sponsors like the chapters and CU Foundation MD|DC. Travel, lodging and food costs are the responsibility of the Rocker and their credit union. *Rockers must be employees of an MD|DC Credit Union Association-affiliated credit union.*
The Rocker Program will begin on Sunday afternoon, May 31 and conclude Tuesday evening, June 2.
