New Category for 2021
To honor the critical and challenging work executed by credit unions this year, a Crisis Management category has been added to this year’s awards roster.
“This year’s new Crisis Management category gives applicants the opportunity to showcase their response and community impact during the pandemic,” said Amy McGraw, Diamond Awards Chair. “We know there’s no shortage of stories demonstrating the value of credit unions and the work they’re doing to provide members with stability and comfort as we all discover what our new normal looks like.”
The entry fee for the Crisis Management category is just $50 per submission for all credit union asset levels. Proceeds collected from entry fees for this all-new category will be donated to one of three organizations making a difference across the country. Applicants can choose to allocate their entry fee(s) towards Family Promise, Feeding America, or The Salvation Army.
