Tell the story: Credit Union Award nominations due June 30

Published by: Melanie Shaner

Your credit union’s impact is not always measured in numbers. It is seen in the lives you touch, the communities you strengthen, and the members you empower. If that sounds like your team, it is time to put your work in the spotlight.

The Ohio Credit Unions Awards Program is your opportunity to showcase the purpose-driven work you do daily. From improving financial literacy, promoting cooperative values, to driving positive change in your community, this is your platform to be recognized.

Awards are available in three categories:

  • Dora Maxwell Award – Social Responsibility
  • Louise Herring Award – Credit Union Philosophy in Action
  • Desjardins Awards – Youth and Adult Financial Education

Entries are due June 30, and state-level winners will be announced in August. Do not miss your chance to be celebrated for the difference you make.

Submit your nomination today via the America’s Credit Unions-League award platform.
