WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Credit Union Journal is now accepting nominations for its 2010 Best Practices Awards.
We've deliberately made it very easy to enter. Nominations may be submitted by credit unions themselves, a CUSO, or a trade association. 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.
The criteria are as follows:
• Best practice must have been deployed since June 1, 2009.
• Create a category for the nomination. Categories can be from any aspect of running a credit union. A credit union can be nominated in more than one category. Nominators are welcome to nominate more than one credit union.
• The entry should include: 500 words or fewer 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; factors driving adoption of the best practice, and any new products/solutions deployed to achieve the best practice.
And here's the part that always has great appeal: there is no charge for entries. It's free! Nominations should be e-mailed to the Managing Editor Lisa Freeman at
Deadline for entries is July 1. Winners will be profiled in Credit Union Journal later this year.
