Global Credit Union honors Alaska’s military

ANCHORAGE, AK (March 12, 2024) — Global Credit Union held its 29th Annual Alaska Military Appreciation Breakfast on February 16, 2024, to honor 13 Service Members of the Year honorees, the Spouse of the Year, and the Armed Services YMCA Bobby Alexander Civic Leader of the Year.

The service members represent each of the active-duty branches of the armed forces as well as the Guard and Reserves. Every nominee undergoes a panel interview after being nominated by their supervisors and, if selected, are recognized and awarded for their outstanding achievements.

The Bobby Alexander Civic Leader of the Year is awarded to an individual who has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Armed Forces through their dedication to the support and betterment of our troops. This year’s awardee was Global Credit Union’s very own President and CEO, Geoff Lundfelt.

Guests included the command teams of the honorees, as well as representatives from Senator Murkowski’s and Senator Sullivan’s offices. Global Credit Union Board members and other members of Global’s senior leadership team were also in attendance.

“The annual breakfast is our way of celebrating the accomplishments of Alaska’s military, and to let them know how proud we are to have them as part of our community,” said Geoff Lundfelt, President and CEO, Global Credit Union. “While we can never do enough to say thanks, we hope that this event shows just how deeply grateful we are for their service.”

The Global Credit Union’s Military Appreciation Breakfast takes place in conjunction with the Armed Services YMCA of Alaska’s annual Salute to the Military event.
