Background on the Award Programs
As in past years, the National Recognition Awards Program
has a special significance. But as we move into a new era,
one where the credit union industry will be a major player
in the political arena, it's more important than ever to recognize
that credit unions are unique providers of life-line financial
services for millions of working Americans.
Developing and entering your social responsibility project
helps your local community -- and its representatives in state
and federal government -- better understand the credit union
difference. The greater the understanding of this difference,
the greater chance that the credit union tax exempt status
will be preserved and accessibility to credit unions guaranteed
for all consumers.
Since 1987, the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Award
has honored credit unions for their charitable works in their
communities. Some credit unions have ongoing programs and
establish a special relationship with local social service
agencies or school programs. Other programs address many different
needs in the community. No matter the size or scope of a project,
each participating credit union builds its reputation as a
good corporate citizen along the way.
Credit unions enter the Dora Maxwell Award program in one
of six asset categories or the chapter category.
Beginning in 1990, the Louise Herring Award for Philosophy
in Action has commended credit unions that make exceptional
efforts to include credit union philosophy in their daily
operations and member service. Programs that provide financial
education to particular member groups within the credit union
or special assistance to low-income members struggling to
pay heating bills, for example, are clear examples of the
philosophy that sets credit unions apart from other financial
institutions.
Entrants in the Louise Herring Award program compete in two
asset categories.
First place winners will advance to the national competition.
National
winners will be honored at the Governmental Affairs Conference
in Washington, D.C.
By entering the National Social Responsibility Awards Program,
you're accomplishing many goals: you are helping your community
and your members, and showing lawmakers that credit unions
are something special -- and should remain that way.
