HCUA Connect peer groups

Join one of our peer groups to ask questions, learn new ideas and share resources. Formerly called Councils, we have moved to a new platform and rebranded as Communities. 

Communities are FREE - accessible to all employees or volunteers of affiliated Kansas, Missouri or Nebraska credit unions or their CUSOs. Access to Communities requires an account on the HCUA website. If you are requesting an HCUA account for the first time, please allow 24-48 hours for our Communities platform to sync with our database. 

Accessing Communities

Access our HCUA Connect platform to see all of the Communities available. This is a single sign on process that will use your same HCUA username and password.
