Celebrate excellence in the Credit Union Movement: nominate a leader for the William A. Herring Society

Published by: Katie Matney

June 12, 2025 | Ohio Credit Union Foundation

The Credit Union Movement thrives because of passionate, principled leaders who live the mission of People Helping People. Every day, credit union employees and volunteers across Ohio go above and beyond to serve their members and uplift their communities.

The William A. Herring Society was established to recognize these exceptional individuals: credit union employees whose leadership, service, and commitment to financial inclusion have shaped the movement’s future and inspired others to follow their example.

Any Ohio credit union can nominate a peer, supervisor, colleague, or volunteer whose contributions have strengthened the Credit Union Movement. By making a $1,000 contribution to the Ohio Credit Union Foundation in their honor, you can help ensure their legacy is preserved and their impact continues to grow.

Inducting someone into the William A. Herring Society is more than a gesture; it is a lasting tribute that celebrates their influence and reaffirms our shared commitment to community and cooperation.

If you know an individual who deserves to be recognized, now is the time to let them know how much you appreciate them. Nominations are accepted year-round. Visit the Ohio Credit Union Foundation website to learn more and submit your nomination.
