Callahan & Associates Announces 2027 Purpose Symposium In San Diego

The three-day experience will bring together credit union leaders to explore how purpose can shape stronger organizations and deepen member impact.

Washington, DC – Callahan & Associates announced that its annual Purpose Symposium will take place Feb. 10-12, 2027, in San Diego, CA. Designed for credit union leaders who believe purpose should be more than words on a wall, the symposium offers an opportunity to step back, reflect, and explore how purpose can bring focus to leadership and unite teams around a common mission.

As credit unions navigate evolving member expectations, purpose remains a powerful anchor. It helps organizations stay grounded in their mission and strengthen connections with the members and communities they serve. The Purpose Symposium was created to help leaders turn purpose into action.

Over three days, attendees will join credit union leaders from across the country for thoughtful discussions and peer learning. Guest speakers will share insights and perspectives on purpose and leadership.

“Purpose has the power to influence every aspect of an organization, from the way leaders make decisions to the way employees and members experience the credit union,” said Katy Slater, senior vice president at Callahan & Associates.” The Purpose Symposium creates an environment where leaders can reconnect with what matters most and return home with renewed clarity and ideas they can put into action.”

As credit unions begin planning for 2027 and beyond, the symposium provides a timely opportunity for leadership teams to reflect on their priorities, explore new approaches, and ensure purpose remains at the center of their long-term strategy.

Registration for Purpose Symposium 2027 is now open. Visit the event registration page to view agenda details, access special hotel rates, and learn about early bird and group discounts. Reserve your spot. Space is limited.
