What's a Crasher?

Crashers are rising and talented professionals (40 & under or "40 at heart") in cooperative and community finance who are sponsored to attend DCUC's Annual Conference at no cost and with additional content designed especially for leadership and innovation development. The application is easy, and the experience is career-changing!

What is the Cooperative Trust and Crash Program?

The Cooperative Trust is a community by Filene Research Institute that provides opportunities for rising credit union talent—specifically, young and emerging professionals. Crash events are created by the Cooperative Trust and are non-stop, action-packed credit union events for rising professionals. Crashers come with a work hard/play hard schedule and are here to help you develop as a future credit union leader. A big part of these meet-ups are our ‘Crash’ sessions, where industry mentors lead our groups in open conversations around leadership, social responsibility, innovation, and more.
