 Celebrating Debbie Kruckenberg’s 45 Years! This week, we celebrate Debbie Kruckenberg who has been with the association since February 9, 1976! She began working for the league just nine months after graduating from high school and has been the eyes and ears of DakCU for the past 45 years. She is quite likely the first voice you hear when you call the office in Bismarck, she is the person behind the registration desk at many association functions, and she is a “library” of historical information behind a kind and caring soul. Karla Clark, DakCU’s CFO has worked with Debbie for 27 years, longer than any other employee at the association. “I have been blessed to work alongside Debbie for all my years with ‘the league’ – Debbie is the go-to person and she has the great ability of digging into projects and challenges that many would shy away from. Thank you, Debbie, for being there for me and our credit unions for the past 45 years!” “Debbie has been an essential part of our organization's journey and success for many years,” stated Jeff Olson, President/CEO. “We are eternally grateful for the dedication and passion she has shared in her service to our team and our members.” Please join us in congratulating Debbie for her many years of devoted service to the industry. Send your messages to: dkruckenberg@dakcu.org or call Debbie today at 701.250.3924.  Pam Helling Retiring from Healthcare Plus FCU

Find fun swag along with FREE graphics to promote your activities here. Be sure to check out our great selection of Pee Wee Penguin promotional products that can also be used to make those important contacts with your young savers!

The survey was developed by World Council and Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and asks about five potential themes for ICU Day 2021. Surveys will be accepted through February 18 and the theme will be announced in early March. Learn more about International Credit Union Day here. In the Spotlight Do you know someone at your credit union or another credit union, either employee or volunteer, who has an interesting story? Nominate them for the CU Professionals Spotlight by emailing their name and a brief explanation of why they are “Spotlight” material to Shawn Brummer. National Credit Union Foundation Virtual Celebration The National Credit Union Foundation (the Foundation) has announced sponsorship and viewing packages are now available for purchase for the 2021 Foundation Celebration. On March 2, 2021, a virtual event featuring Wegner Award winners of the past will take place. The Foundation will not be presenting the annual Herb Wegner Memorial Awards in 2021 as they will wait to honor new winners in person with family and friends. However, they are still looking forward to bringing the spirit and inspiration of the Wegner Dinner into your organization and home through the Foundation Celebration. The Celebration will be a fun “night out” for our movement to get dressed up, experience interviews with some past Wegner Award winners with help from emcee Andy Janning, support the National Credit Union Foundation and an opportunity to get re-energized with passion for the difference we make as credit unions.
