MONTEREY, Calif. — There's a noticeable reduction of attendees at the Big Valley Educational Conference, and California and Nevada Credit Union League leaders are blaming bad timing. Approximately 550 volunteers and managers are attending this year's event, down from the usual ranks of around 700.
CCUL CEO Bill Cheney addressed the issue during this morning's general session, saying record GAC attendance hampered Big Valley numbers.
"I know it's GAC, because I've spoken with people who usually attend both," Cheney said. "Usually, GAC is in February, but since this year's event was only 10 days ago, many people couldn't find time for both."
