January 29, 2026

It’s that time of year again! No, not tax season. It’s annual meeting season—and as a credit union member, you’re not just invited, you’re an owner.

This year, we’re turning things up a notch. Actually, a few notches. Better food, bigger prizes, and plenty of reasons to feel good about being part of something you own. If you’ve ever wanted to flex your credit union ownership—even just a little—the annual meeting is where it happens.

Join us Monday, April 20th at 5:30pm at The Greens at Irem Clubhouse in Dallas. We’ll kick things off with a cocktail hour, move into the meeting (don’t worry, we keep it engaging), and wrap things up with dinner. Along the way, expect basket raffles, door prizes, giveaways, and a look at some exciting updates coming your way.
