About Us

ABOUT THE DEFENSE CREDIT UNION COUNCIL

The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) is the premier defense trade association representing the interests of defense credit unions operating on military installations worldwide.  The Council is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors consisting of a representative from each of the services -- Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force -- plus three representatives at large.

The Defense Council operates day to day under the supervision of a President/CEO and a small staff from offices in Washington, D.C., and supports two Sub-councils --- the Defense Credit Union Council's Overseas Sub-council and the Midwest Sub-council.

OUR MISSION

Since 1963, DCUC's mission is to act as the primary liaison to the Department of Defense for defense credit unions, and is the Department's principal conduit to defense credit unions on military bases stateside and overseas.

The Defense Credit Union Council is the premier defense trade association representing the interests of defense credit unions operating on military installations worldwide.

Whether working strategic or operational issues, or addressing regulatory or legislative matters, the Defense Council's close working relationship with DoD has ensured members of the United States Armed Forces and their families are provided financial services in the finest traditions of the credit union philosophy.

Why should you exhibit at DCUC?

If your goal is to network and meet with the leaders of defense credit unions, the 56th Annual DCUC Conference & Showcase is a MUST for your company.

Throughout the Conference, we provide your company with access to defense credit union CEO’s, executives, staff and board chairs. These attendees make the majority of final buying decisions at our member credit unions around the world.

Located just 16 miles from downtown Chicago, Harborside International has brought championship style links golf to the area since 1995. No other course in Chicago can combine the rugged links exterior, with sculpted fairways and manicured greens that make Harborside the finest choice for locals and travelers alike to enjoy traditional links golf.
