Fort Knox Federal Credit Union is the 2018 winner of both the Louise Herring Philosophy in Action Member Service Award and Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Service Award in the more than $1 billion asset category. The statewide awards, which are sponsored by the Kentucky Credit Union League and Credit Union National Association, recognize the credit union’s commitment to serving members and the broader community.
The Louise Herring Philosophy in Action Member Service Award was established to annually recognize credit unions that demonstrate, in an extraordinary way, the practical application of the credit union philosophy – “People Helping People” – in the programs and activities offered to its membership. The Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Service Award is given to a credit union for its social responsibility projects within the community.
Fort Knox Federal focuses on living the credit union philosophy everyday. A few of the specific organizations and events the credit union has supported recently include: Operation Veteran 2 Entrepreneur, the Historic State Theater Concert Series, USA Cares, the United Way, and Know Your Numbers Physical & Financial Health Initiative.
“As the largest member-owned financial institution in Kentucky, our mission to improve the financial lives of local families drives everything Fort Knox Federal does,” said Ray Springsteen, Fort Knox Federal President & CEO. “We’re honored to receive these awards and look forward to continuing to serve our community through empowering financial education, active volunteerism and better value financial products and services.”
