During the conclusion of this year’s Legislative Forum—which you can read about here—League President Elise Baldacci and Director of Advocacy & Compliance Jared Gay announced the recipients of this year’s CULAC donor awards.
To celebrate those who went above and beyond in their support of the League’s advocacy efforts, top donors to the PAC were recognized in three categories: Top Contributor: Small Credit Union, Top Contributor: Large Credit Union, and Top Contributor: Individual Donor.

Community CU’s Jen Hogan accepts her credit union’s award from Jared Gay and Elise Baldacci.
Kicking things off, Baldacci announced this year’s top contributing small credit union: Community CU. President/CEO Jen Hogan accepted the award on behalf of the credit union.

Evergreen CU’s Jason Lindstrom accepts two awards at the 2025 Legislative Forum.
The top contributing large credit union was Evergreen CU. President/CEO Jason Lindstrom accepted the award on Evergreen’s behalf. The Top Individual Contributor award also went to Jason Lindstrom.
These awards serve as a testament to the commitment of Maine’s credit union leaders to protecting and advancing the credit union movement through advocacy and grassroots engagement. As the League looks ahead to another year of advocacy, we are proud to recognize the people and institutions who make this work possible.
