Indiana Credit Union League

We are excited for you to meet Arel Moodie, our Convention Keynoter. He's excited too! See for yourself.

Arel Moodie is the Keynote Speaker for Convention 2026! League Convention 2026 Keynoter Arel Moodie describes the decision-making and team leadership skills he will be covering in his hour-long presentation on October 1.

The League’s first year at Advocacy on Track was a success!

It was a great day to share with credit unions from across Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi! From the welcome reception at Angel’s Envy to a day of thought-provoking discussion and networking at Churchill Downs, the energy and engagement demonstrated why our movement continues to make a difference.

We especially appreciate the event sponsors and to the panelists and speakers who discussed advocacy messaging, including:
• Rick Redman, Hillerich & Bradsby Co. / Wilson Baseball & Softball
• Josh Thomas, Parthenon Strategies
• Amy McClard, America’s Credit Unions
• Shayna Sangster, Indiana Fever & Pacers Sports & Entertainment
• Ashley Sharp, Illinois Credit Union League

We are already looking forward to next year!

This week, VP of Advocacy Carrie Summers and Director of Advocacy Rachel Birenbaum had the honor of attending the ceremonial bill signing for HEA1116. We appreciate Representative Wendy McNamara for her leadership in authoring and championing the bill as well as Vote Scott Baldwin for State Senate for sponsoring the bill in the Senate. We appreciate the opportunity to work along side the Indiana AARP on this issue as well.

We are proud to have played a role in advancing the legislation. HEA1116 prohibits the use of virtual currency kiosks in Indiana. On behalf of our credit unions and their 2.8 million members, this represents a meaningful win in the fight against fraud.

We love visiting credit unions with legislators! VP Advocacy Carrie Summers was at FORUM Credit Union today with Rep. Jake Teshka, chairman of the Indiana House Financial Services Committee, and Kyle Pierce, Indiana State Representative, who is vice chairman. Both are strong CU supporters. We are grateful to all who helped us organize this day and make it a success.

Our annual Indiana Credit Union Symposium brought CUs together to learn and enjoy. Special thanks go to Caroline Vahrenkamp of Filene Research Institute who made us all think, and of course, smile, while she covered the Top Ten Strategic CU Priorities and What Innovation Really Means; Edgar Hernandez of TruStage who shared facts and inspiration about small business lending to boost deposits; and James Gukeisen of Trellance, Inc. who taught us so many things about CU data and AI and gave us ideas on how to use and manage it. All of this was possible thanks to our sponsors: Alloya Corporate FCU, Corporate One Federal Credit Union, TruStage, Member First Mortgage - MFM, Credit Union Centers Shared Branching, and Servicecorp.
