The Northwest Credit Union Association (NWCUA) and the Idaho Credit Union League (ICUL) have formed a three-year partnership to hold simultaneous annual membership meetings while jointly hosting the MAXX Convention.
This collaboration will commence in October 2017.
"The [underlying] theme of MAXX celebrates cooperative credit unions and their ability to realize the possibilities," said NWCUA president and CEO Troy Stang in a statement. "We encourage the credit union leaders in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho to begin planning now to come together at MAXX 2017."
Stang added that this partnership will bring some of the "nation's most innovative credit unions under one roof to accelerate and celebrate the value and impact" they deliver to their 5.9 million members and the communities they serve.
Kathy Thomson, ICUL's president and CEO, praised collaboration as the "cornerstone" of the credit union movement.
"This partnership ensures MAXX convention attendees can expect best-in-class content, powerful speakers, a preeminent Strategic Link Trade Show, networking, a celebration of traditions and experience opportunities for the future," she added.
MAXX will be held in Spokane on October 23-26, 2017.
