Now Open: 2022 DakCU Award Nominations!

​These prestigious honors are bestowed upon our outstanding member credit unions and professionals who are making a difference in their communities. 

Dakota Credit Union Association (DakCU) is thrilled to announce that we are now accepting nominations for the 2022 Summit Awards!

Each year, DakCU recognizes outstanding credit union advocates as: Professional of the Year; Emerging Leader; Volunteer of the Year; and our highest achievement, the Hall of Fame Award. These awards recognize those individual employees and/or volunteers who have contributed to a credit union’s success. We strongly encourage you to consider nominating your accomplished professionals for one of these prestigious awards.

In addition, DakCU honors those credit unions that have had a noticeable and measureable positive impact in their community with the CU Social Good Award. Credit unions that executed a successful campaign are encouraged to apply for the Marketing and Communication Award. Plus, each year, one outstanding credit union chapter will receive the Chapter of the Year Award for their efforts in advocacy, communication, education and community involvement.

Finally, the Arnold Paulson Scholarship is awarded to one individual to assist financially with attending the Summit, and the William O. Knight, Jr. Memorial Scholarship is bestowed upon one recipient to help offset the cost of attending CUNA Management School.

All entries must be received no later than December 17, 2021 and may be mailed to Dakota Credit Union Association, 2005 N Kavaney Drive Suite 201, Bismarck ND 58501 or submitted electronically via email to Deb Kruckenberg.

The DakCU Awards will be presented in Rapid City, South Dakota during the elegant Awards Banquet at the Annual Summit being held May 10 – 11, 2022. 

We hope you consider nominating a credit union, employee or volunteer you feel has gone above and beyond for the credit union industry! More award details and nomination forms can be found here on the DakCU website.
