The deadline is fast upon CUs for entry into the Credit Union Journal's Best Practices awards. The good news is that 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.
The criteria are as follows:
1) Best practice must have been deployed since June 1, 2006.
2) CU (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
