Join us for this year’s Hike the Hill!

SEPTEMBER 15–17, 2026

Stand Up for Credit Unions!

Washington is moving quickly, and the decisions made there will shape the future of the credit union industry. Now is the time to engage directly with lawmakers and regulators to advocate for policies that support credit unions and the millions of members who rely on them.

Join your fellow credit union leaders from California and Nevada in Washington, D.C. on September 15–17 for Hike the Hill — our leading federal advocacy event — and help amplify the credit union voice. 

Hike the Hill Pre-Briefing

Event Highlights

• Meet with Members of Congress, Senators, and their staff to share the credit union difference. 
• Engage with federal regulators through exclusive agency meetings and discussions on emerging issues and key industry challenges.
