Wanted: Innovations with Real-World Results

Think of it as an early holiday gift from Credit Union Journal: 14 great ideas to improve your credit union developed and field tested by your colleagues that you can tailor for your own operation.

You're welcome.

Credit Union Journal's Best Practices Awards program is a treasure trove of proven, results-driven strategies aimed at boosting growth, improving efficiency, cutting costs, enhancing member service, living the credit union philosophy and driving revenue.

Just as important, they must be strategies that are scaleable and adaptible to make it easy for readers to model their own programs off of these great ideas.

Our annual awards program is designed not to offer accolades to individuals but to recognize an innovative practice, policy, product or procedure that has been in place long enough to be able to point to concrete, measurable, real-world results, not pie-in-the-sky projections.

The Best Practices Awards are aimed at recognizing achievements across the entire credit union enterprise—including improved member service through biometrics, measuring return on investment of marketing promotions, expense reductions, branch strategies, managing the compliance burden, core conversions, redesigning the website, making a difference in the community, and more.
