Award Overview

The Distinguished Service Award recipient is an individual who has been exceptionally supportive of the Michigan credit union movement, reaching beyond an individual credit union. This individual has gone above and beyond in their involvement in advocacy and demonstrates a lifelong effort to affect positive change in the industry as a whole.

The award is for lifetime achievement rather than for a single contribution, no matter how monumental. Nominees should have a minimum of 10 years of distinguished service within the credit union industry.
