The award luncheon will be held on Thursday, September 24.
The Community Credit Union of the Year Award honors credit unions that embody credit union ideals, get involved in their community and meet the needs of their own diverse member-bases. Each credit union applicant is judged on three criteria: Member Impact, Community Impact and Financial Impact.

This year’s awards will be presented to credit unions in two asset categories – under and over $250 million in assets. Each category has a first place winner and an honorable mention runner-up.
