Calling All Best CU Practices

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 cujournal.com. The deadline for entries is Aug. 1.

Winners will be profiled in the Oct. 30 issue. (c) 2006 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc. All Rights Reserved. http://www.cujournal.com http://www.sourcemedia.com
