CU Journal Now Accepting Nominations for Best Practices

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.–The Credit Union Journal is now accepting nominations for its 2007 Best Practices Awards. The Journal’s Third Annual Best Practices Awards program has developed into one of the most widely recognized forums for the sharing of practices worthy of emulation within the credit union community, and 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 a best practice in implementing a particular product or service. The criteria are: 1) The 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 factor 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.
