Call For Best Practices Entries

The Credit Union Journal is announcing its Call for Entries for its Best Practices awards. It's easy to enter! Nominations may be submitted by credit unions themselves, a CUSO, or even another CU. Nominations can also be submitted by suppliers to the credit union community that have clients they believe exemplify the best practice in implementing a particular product or service. Nominations are due July 13.The criteria are as follows:1) Best practice must have been deployed since June 1, 2006. 2) Credit union (or vendor) selects (or even creates) a category and nominates itself/client CU.3) The entry should include: 500 words or less on why it believes it has created a best practice within its operation. The nomination essay should include as many tangible measures as practical (including ROI where available) documenting the best practice; the background on environment prior to the implementation of the best practice;and factors driving adoption of the best practice, and any new products/solutions deployed to achieve the best practice.4) A credit union may enter more than one category. 5) Nominations should be e-mailed to the Managing Editor Lisa Freeman at lfreeman cujournal.com. Winners will be profiled in Credit Union Journal later this year.
