Do you have a credit union peer who exemplifies the "people helping people" philosophy in your community? Nominate them for an ICUF Community Impact Award! ICUF is looking to recognize people who are both loud and proud about community wellness, as well as those working behind the scenes to create impact.

The Community Impact Award was created in 2015 to recognize individuals within the Iowa credit union movement who have demonstrated outstanding civic and charitable responsibility through volunteerism, advocacy or philanthropy in service toward community-based charitable causes.

Pictured are 2024 ICUF Community Impact Award Winners Jennifer Crimmins and Ryne George with ICUF Executive Director Ena Babic Barnes.
