Accepting 2021 Credit Union Hero Nominations

Credit Union Magazine announced that nominations for the 2021 Credit Union Hero Award, sponsored by Symitar, will be accepted beginning Nov. 16.

“The Credit Union Magazine Credit Union Hero program is an opportunity to lift up the voices of the unsung heroes of the movement. We’re looking for the stories of those who have quietly made an indelible mark on their credit unions, their communities, and most important, their members,” said Ann Hayes Peterson, vice president and editor-in-chief of Credit Union Magazine.

 “Credit unions’ people-helping-people philosophy is driven by employees at every level and position—many of whom have made dramatic impacts in the lives of modern members,” said Shanon McLachlan, president of Symitar. “The Credit Union Magazine Credit Union Hero program is a special opportunity to recognize a few of the heroes who are defining the credit union movement in a caring, individual way. Their stories are an inspiration to us all.”

What makes a Credit Union Hero? Qualified individuals:

  • are credit union system employees or volunteers
  • are working or retired
  • are unsung heroes, going above and beyond to promote credit union philosophy
  • take a stand or demonstrate a strong belief in credit union philosophy
  • show dedication to credit union principles
  • make a difference in their community

Nominations for Heroes close on Dec. 14. Credit Union Magazine will identify finalists and launch Hero of the Year voting in February.
