Fifty-six professionals from 21 credit unions participated in the three-day in-person event in Dallas, Texas, last summer.

This year's theme was transformation; participants had the technical resources of Jack Henry, as well as ASA, SWIVEL, Salesforce, Q2, Mahalo Banking, MuleSoft, CUTEK, and AWS. Teams were evaluated on the following guidelines: fit, innovation, functionality, design, extensibility, and mission focus. The grand prize winner was team Play Less' solution, Save More, an enhanced member experience for savings designed to support those who need it most.

Participants offered plenty of positive feedback. Gayle Hargis, IT business analyst at Neighborhood Credit Union and on the winning team, said, As a non-programmer, CU Build was a wonderful opportunity to bring diverse talent together to meet a common goal. Communication and knowledge sharing were not just within individual teams; it was widespread. This is my second year participating, and I fully intend to continue to be a part of the CU Build initiative.
