Maine credit unions do many great things including social responsibility activities, member education and youth and adult financial education. Now, it's for your credit unions to get recognized for all that you do. It's time to submit an entry(ies) for the Dora Maxwell, Louise Herring, and/or Desjardins Awards. The online submission process is now open. The process for submitting an entry is new this year, as the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) has developed an online submission process. Links dedicated to Maine credit unions are now live and are below, along with a description of each award:
