Purpose Symposium
A Callahan & Associates Event
San Diego, CA | February 10, 2027 – February 12, 2027
Where Purpose & Strategy Meet.
Purpose is a powerful anchor that can create a ripple effect throughout your organization. It brings focus to leadership, helps teams rally around a common mission, and strengthens connections with the members you serve.
The Purpose Symposium brings together credit union executives who believe purpose should be more than words on a wall. Over three days, you'll engage with peers, reflect on your own purpose journey, and explore how purpose can shape the way your organization moves forward.
You'll return home with a renewed sense of purpose and practical ideas for creating meaningful impact within your credit union.
What To Expect
During this special annual event, you'll join credit union leaders from across the country for thoughtful discussions and peer-driven learning. The symposium is intentionally designed to bring together a variety of voices, creating opportunities to learn from different experiences and approaches.
You'll also hear from guest speakers who bring a wide range of backgrounds and expertise, offering fresh perspectives on leadership and the impact credit unions can have in the communities they serve. Between sessions and conversations, you'll build relationships with peers who are equally passionate about making a difference through the credit union mission.
This is more than a conference. It's an opportunity to step back, focus on what matters most, and reimagine how you lead and serve.

"Two lines stayed with me throughout the event: “You don’t have to solve everyone’s problems, you just need to care enough to try,” and “Every day we open our doors, there’s hope.” I left inspired by the people I met and with new ideas to strengthen our purpose."
