On Thursday, June 16, 2022, the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates (LSCU & Affiliates) presented its annual LSCU Awards at the 2022 Southeastern Credit Union Conference & Expo in Orlando, Florida. This awards ceremony recognizes credit unions and credit union professionals who have demonstrated exemplary service and accomplished significant achievements in 2021.
The Young Professional of the Year award recognizes an outstanding affiliated credit union professional, age 40 or under, who has demonstrated proven dedication and enthusiasm for the credit union movement.
The winners of the Young Professional of the Year award are as follows:
- Tara Leeth of WinSouth Credit Union (Alabama)
- Anaidelin Sainz of Miami Postal Service Credit Union (Florida)
- Harrison Stafford of Georgia United Credit Union (Georgia)
“I know that the future of the credit union movement is bright when I look at these three motivated and determined individuals. Despite being still young in their credit union careers, they are already living out the credit union mission to support communities and help members afford life,” said Patrick La Pine, CEO of LSCU & Affiliates. “I can’t wait to see the next steps for these future leaders and look forward to helping them grow throughout their credit union journey. Ms. Tara Leeth, Ms. Anaidelin Sainz, and Mr. Harrison Stafford’s hard work will continue to contribute to the growth of the credit union movement through financial literacy workshops, chapter events, and community service.”
