Movement meets madness; raises funds for state PAC

Even with lots of “chalk” in last month’s NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, credit union support for this year’s Movement Madness ensured that Ohio’s Credit Union Movement was the real winner. Thanks to the incredible support of credit union leaders across the state, Movement Madness was once again a success for the League’s state PAC, OCULAC.

This year, for the first time ever, we have two winners, one for each of the men’s and women’s brackets. Congratulations to Mike Wettrich and Mike Martin for winning the men and women brackets, respectively. Mark your calendars for next year’s Selection Sunday – March 15, 2026 – and start your scouting early to ensure you can be crowned next year’s Movement Madness champion.
