Paul Brucker Receives Ambassador Award!

​CULAC Trustees that meet certain criteria receive
this prestigious award during the CUNA GAC.  Congratulations to Railway Credit Union's President, our North Dakota CULAC Trustee!  

Dakota Credit Union Association is very proud to announce that Paul Brucker, President of Railway Credit Union (Mandan, ND) has been named a CULAC Ambassador for his achievements in 2020. The announcement was made during the recent CULAC Annual Meeting and official recognition will be made during the virtual Governmental Affairs Conference.

The Ambassadors Program is a CULAC Trustee involvement program. The program’s goal is to increase Trustees’ involvement in CULAC fundraising in their respective state. As the North Dakota CULAC Trustee, Paul met the following criteria to receive this recognition:

• CULAC Permission Agreement signed for five years at their credit union;
• Personal CULAC contribution of $500 per annum or sold $2,000 in sweepstakes tickets during the GAC and contributed $250 per annum;
• Enroll credit union and/or League in CULAC Payroll Deduction or raise contributions determined by asset size; and
• State meets 100% of its CULAC annual goal.

Paul is one of 22 credit union professionals nationally receiving this honor. As we announced in January, North Dakota placed first in the country and secured the Vanguard Award after raising 278% of their stated goal in 2020. The CULAC Vanguard Award goes to the one state each year that raises the highest percentage of their annual goal. By virtue of North Dakota earning the Vanguard Award, Paul also serves on the CULAC Executive Committee.

​Congratulations to Paul Brucker on this achievement, and once again, congratulations to North Dakota and South Dakota on their outstanding efforts in CULAC fundraising.

CULAC is the federal Legislative Action Council for the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and is the national PAC that contributes to our federal candidates with heavy input from the Dakota Credit Union Association.
