The Metro West Chapter of Credit Unions cordially invites you to their Annual Meeting and CU Spark Tank Competition. This in-person event is for all interested credit union professionals - CEOs, executives, managers, chapter board and committee members, and interested staff. Please forward this invitation to your team members as appropriate. We look forward to seeing you there!

Has anyone at your credit union submitted an idea for the 2026 Spark Tank Competition yet? The deadline for the Metro West Chapter competition is March 3rd, and we don’t want your credit union to miss out on this exciting opportunity!

It's an exciting opportunity to shine and make an impact! Semi-finalists present their ideas during the YP Leadership Summit, and five finalists will present on Center Stage at ACE26.
