Projects from Indiana credit unions in the areas of community service, credit union philosophy in action, and excellence in delivering financial literacy content have been recognized with state-level awards. These awards are named for credit union pioneers in each of the areas.
Those credit union entries receiving first-place honors in their asset size category in Indiana have been forwarded on to CUNA’s national competition. A video with highlights from each entry is available here.
