The Credit Union won the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Service Award, the Alphonse Desjardins Youth Financial Education Award, and the Alphonse Desjardins Adult Financial Education Award. 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 its members and the broader community.
The Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Service Award is given to a credit union for its social responsibility projects within the community. Abound was recognized specifically for its major investments in military and community health along with higher education.
The Alphonse Desjardins Financial Education Awards honor leadership within the credit union movement on behalf of youth and adult financial literacy.
