WHAT IS A CREDIT UNION?Credit unions are cooperatively owned and democratically controlled financial institutions focused on serving members and their community. Unlike competing financial institutions, credit unions return their profits to members in the form of lower fees, lower interest rates and higher yields.
WHY WISCONSIN CREDIT UNIONS?With more than 3.3 million members, Wisconsin credit unions are continuing to grow in the financial services market. As more consumers learn about the Credit Union Difference and discover the value of membership, the credit union Movement will continue to expand, creating more demand for products that help credit union professionals serve their members.
The credit union Movement is also deeply interconnected, meaning that word spreads fast about quality products and services.
YOUR CREDIT UNION CONNECTIONFounded in 1934, The Wisconsin Credit Union League is the state’s only trade association exclusively for Wisconsin credit unions.
The League is your best single source for reaching Wisconsin’s credit unions.
The League’s educational events span a number of topic areas and provide training for credit union professionals of all levels.

EVENT PLANNING DURING A PANDEMICEvent planning during a pandemic brings challenges, but it also brings opportunities. In 2020, we were able to greatly extend our distance learning offerings and as a result credit unions who previously may not have been able to travel to an in-person event, have been able to attend multiple events enabling us to significantly increase our penetration.
REFUND POLICY & OTHER IMPORTANT NOTESIn 2021, we are planning to focus the first half of the year on remote events and tentatively, as circumstances allow, begin to offer some in-person events in the second half of the year. The health and well-being of attendees, staff, exhibitors and sponsors are our primary consideration, therefore, at the sole discretion of The League, the event may be canceled, postponed or held remotely. We will notify the sponsors of an event change, cancellation or postponement. In the event of a change or postponement, the sponsorship will remain for the adjusted event. If the event is canceled, the sponsor will have the option of sponsoring a different League event or receiving a full refund.
It is recommended to reserve your sponsorship at least 90 days prior to the event to receive the full benefit of the sponsorship. All sponsorships are subject to the approval by the Wisconsin Credit Union League. Dates, locations and estimated attendance figures are subject to change
2021 EVENTS TO BE ANNOUNCEDThe following events are tentatively slated for 2021, however, details are still being finalized. If you have interest in sponsoring or exhibiting at any of these events, please email [email protected] for the latest information.
