Registration is now open through the ACUMA website at acuma.org. These two-day subject-intensive events enable select groups of participants to take a closer look into critical issues affecting the credit union mortgage lending industry.

• The Brown Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky Dates: Jun 13-14, 2023

Please note that registration is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with a plan to keep the sessions and networking opportunities more personal and improve participation among attendees.
