The Credit Union Journal is announcing its Call for Entries for its Best Practices awards. The Journal published its inaugural Best Practices issue in November 2005 and featured nearly two-dozen peer-leading ideas as selected by the editors.
It's easy to enter! Nominations may be submitted by credit unions themselves, a CUSO or even another CU. Nominations may 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. For all readers, the Best Practice nominations are a means of recognizing those who have developed an idea and brought it to fruition.
The criteria are as follows: 1) Best practice must have been deployed since May 1, 2005. 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. 4) A credit union may enter more than one category. 5) Nominations should be e-mailed to Managing Editor Lisa Freeman at lfreeman
Winners will be profiled in the Oct. 30 issue.
