Midcoast FCU held its annual All-Employee Appreciation Night on October 5 at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester. Team members enjoyed an evening of collaboration with awards, dancing, and fun!
Honoring Midcoast FCU’s 2024 Wave Award winners was a focal point of the event. Eight employees—all nominated by their peers—were recognized in four distinct award categories for their special contributions to the credit union. Midcoast FCU also presented an award to one of its outstanding volunteers.
A summary of both the award winners and categories are listed below. The League joins Midcoast FCU in congratulating these honorees.
Rising Star Award:
Each year, the credit union recognizes a new employee(s) who shows extraordinary promise. To receive this honor, the employee must demonstrate passion, diligence, and a capacity to grow both personally and professionally to best serve members and the Midcoast FCU Team.
Richard, a Consumer Loan Processor, and Nelai, a Member Service Representative II, are the recipients of the 2024 Rising Star Award.
