Register today for Hike the Hill in Washington

The League is thrilled to announce that our annual Hike the Hill event will return to Washington, D.C., from Sept. 9–11, 2025.

More than a tradition, Hike the Hill is a call to action. It is your opportunity to shape the future of the Credit Union Movement by advocating directly with the lawmakers and regulators who influence our operating environment. This event brings credit union leaders face-to-face with elected officials, policymakers, and decision-makers to tell our story, a story of member impact, community investment, and financial empowerment.

Advocacy is how we ensure credit unions can chart their own course, grow with confidence, and continue meeting the evolving needs of the 3 million Ohioans we serve. In today’s policy environment, showing up matters. A strong, unified voice allows us to champion policies that support our members, protect our cooperative model, and preserve the ability to deliver not-for-profit financial services with purpose.

Registration is now open for the 2025 Hike the Hill. Sign up today, and join us in Washington to make your voice heard.
