MILWAUKEE, WI – October 1, 2025

The Corporate Connection

The countdown is on – we are just days away from our inaugural Momentum conference! We are so excited to welcome you all next week as we come together for insights, innovation, and connection. This event has been a long time in the making, and we are thrilled to finally get to experience it side by side.

Momentum is all about looking ahead – exploring new ideas, sparking meaningful conversations, and building relationships that will carry our credit union movement forward. Most importantly, it's about being together. I look forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and sharing this first-ever experience with each of you.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. We will see you very soon in Wisconsin Dells – let's make Momentum unforgettable!

Sincerely,

Chris Felton

President/CEO
