Foundation announces celebration for March 2

November 25, 2020
FC21

The National Credit Union Foundation will conduct a 2021 Foundation Celebration March 2, and sponsorship and viewing packages are available for purchase. The celebration will be a virtual event spotlighting past Wegner Award winners.

The Foundation will not be presenting the annual Herb Wegner Memorial Awards in 2021, but is looking forward to bringing the spirit and inspiration of the Wegner Dinner through the Foundation Celebration.

The celebration provides a fun “night out” for the credit union movement to get dressed up, experience interviews with some of our favorite past Wegner Award winners with help from emcee Andy Janning, support the National Credit Union Foundation and an opportunity to get re-energized with passion for credit union difference.

Past winners that will be part of the celebration include:

The Foundation Celebration will provide an opportunity to catch up with some of our favorite industry pioneers and past award winners including:

  • William "Bill" J. Bynum, CEO of Hope Credit Union, 2016 Wegner Award winner;
  • The Cooperative Trust, Filene Research Institute, 2017 Wegner Award winner;
  • Diana Dykstra, president/CEO of the California & Nevada Credit Union Leagues, 2019 Wegner Award winner;
  • Larry Blanchard, consultant, Corporate & Legislative Affairs at CUNA Mutual Group, 1999 Wegner Award winner;
  • Lois Kitsch, do-foundation, CUDifference, 2004 Wegner Award winner;
