The Eagle Award

The Eagle Award is AACUL’s highest honor, created in 1981 and conferred only when a candidate meets the elevated standards established for the recognition. It honors a league president who demonstrates exceptional achievement at the league level, leadership beyond their state, courage on critical and controversial issues, innovation in turning ideas into action, and a steadfast commitment to credit union principles. Past recipients include Scott Simpson (2024), Tom Kane (2023) and Tracie Kenyon (2022).
