Defense Credit Unions:

Winning the Present…Shaping the Future!

www.dcuc.org “Serving Those Who Serve Our Country”

Join Us in Las Vegas this August!

This year’s DCUC 52nd Annual Conference & Showcase will be held at one of the premier hotels on the strip — Bellagio Las Vegas! And given our planned program and activities, you can bet your bottom dollar that our main event will be unsurpassed. Unsurpassed in terms of speakers, educational content, and recognition…as our conference is all about you and ensuring you receive the latest updates and information on significant issues emanating from the Department of Defense (DoD), our industry, the corporate world, and the Hill. We may not be the biggest convention in town, but based on our DoD niche and feedback from previous years, I can assure you, we are the most relevant… the most beneficial…and the most effective conference for credit unions serving and supporting our Nation’s best — our troops and their families!!

If your credit union is operating on a DoD installation or facility — Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard — whether federal or state chartered, DCUC’s conference is the one meeting you must attend! We cover the gamut of subjects of key interest to you, and along with the Military Departments, we honor our Army, Department of Navy, and Air Force credit unions of the year at our Military Awards luncheon…our Military Saves Week credit unions of the year at DoD day...and our accomplished defense credit union leaders at our Hall of Honor gala.

Take a few minutes to review our preliminary program and take note of our keynote and featured speakers, the likes of Peter Leyden, General Doug Brown, USA (R), Navy SEAL LT (R) Jason Redman, Walter Bond, Jim Nussle, Dan Berger, Lucy Ito, and Steve Ricks. I am confident you will agree, DCUC’s Annual Conference and Showcase is where business gets done: in dynamic general and educational sessions, in the Showcase, in impromptu gatherings and in planned meetings and special events.

It’s all about “Winning the Present…Shaping the Future!” And DCUC’s 52nd Annual event and “family reunion” will do just that — win and shape!!

Please consider this preliminary program my personal invitation to you to attend the premier defense credit union conference in our industry…and register today! Take advantage of our early bird rates; our first time attendee rate; or our free CEO registration for every five paid — and do it now!!

DCUC and Bellagio are a winning combination…and the place to be 2015!

See you in Las Vegas in mid-August!!

Sincerely, Roland “Arty” Arteaga, President/CEO

Defense Credit Unions: Winning the Present…Shaping the Future!

2015 Showcase with a Purpose “When I was young, all I could think about was film school,” Ebony said. “The Warrior Foundation makes children’s dreams come true.

Thank you so much.”

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) began in 1980 after the daring attempt to rescue 53 American hostages in Iran, which ended in tragedy when a helicopter and C-130 aircraft collided. Eight souls were lost, and they left behind 17 children.

2

A battlefield promise to take care of those 17 children has become the noble cause of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation ensures the surviving children of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations personnel who lose their lives in the line of duty will have full financial assistance for a postsecondary degree from an accredited two or fouryear college, university, technical or trade school, as well as educational and family counseling. They are committed to providing scholarship grants, not loans, to over 1,000 children, who survive over 900 Special Operations personnel who gave their lives in service to our country.

The foundation also provides immediate financial assistance to severely wounded and hospitalized special operations personnel.

Over the past 34 years, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has touched many lives. As a result of the generosity of their faithful supporters, who believe in their noble cause, they are able to truly make a difference in the lives of so many who have lost so much.

“We lost our father when we were four years old. It was confusing to me,” said Martin. “When Mom said the Warrior Foundation would pay for college, I asked, ‘How many days?’ But they paid for everything.”

Grace Sherrill of Waldorf, MD, is the surviving spouse of medical officer Maj. Geoffrey B. “Doc” Sherrill, who was killed in 1996 during a training mission with the Army’s 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne); The couple’s 19-year-old twins, Ebony and Martin, are both students at Stevenson University in Owings Mills, MD, on SOWF scholarships, where Ebony recently graduated with a film degree.

“Everything the SOWF does means the world to me. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful.”

— Ebony Sherrill

Defense Credit Unions: Winning the Present…Shaping the Future!

A Battlefield Promise…A Noble Cause Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Dan Healy died in June of 2005, when his helicopter was shot down as he was trying to save four brothers-in-arms - fellow Navy SEALs – during a gun battle in a ravine with Taliban fighters in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan.

He was among eight additional SEALs and eight Army Night Stalkers who swooped in on a Chinook helicopter and valiantly attempted to rescue the foursome, thanks to the selfless act of Lt. Michael Murphy, the SEAL team leader, who exposed himself to enemy fire in order to radio their location and their desperate situation.

Only one of the four SEALS on the ground, Petty Officer 2nd Class Marcus Luttrell, would escape.

His only son, Jacob Centeno Healy, graduated from the University of San Diego in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. And his daughter, Chelsea graduated from Hawaii Pacific University with a degree in Psychology and Spanish.

Jacob Healy visiting the SOF Memorial at MacDill AFB a few years ago.

In 2003, DCUC first combined a Silent Auction supporting Children’s Miracle Network with our Showcase. Giving back to a worthy cause enhances our conference and in the past 12 years, we have made a significant difference in the lives of our wounded warriors. And this year will be no exception! Join us this year to network with some outstanding corporate partners and our own credit union friends; enjoy some upbeat music and good food; and bid on terrific Silent Auction items to help support Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

Here are just a few of the opportunities to help!

• Donate an item from your credit union to the Showcase Silent Auction.

• Purchase mulligans at the 22nd Annual VADM Vincent Lascara Golf Tournament at Spanish Trails.

• Buy Raffle tickets for the very popular 50/50 Drawing.

• Bid on Silent and Live Auction Donations.

Please join us once again as we support the families of our fallen warriors.
