Ohio Credit Union League
Leadership Recognition Program
Ohio's Leadership Recognition Program is designed to encourage and recognize distinguished credit unions and individuals demonstrating amazing leadership, advocacy, outreach, financial education, and member service.
Individual Leadership Nominations
The Ohio Credit Union League annually awards Ohio credit union leadership award designations available for peer nomination. An individual must be nominated by an Ohio Credit Union League-affiliated credit union and endorsed by two other League-affiliated credit unions from throughout Ohio. Only one award in each category will be given annually, limited to one per credit union. Multiple-person entries will not be considered. Recipients will be recognized at the upcoming League Annual Convention and allotted 3-5 minutes to address their peer audience on the main stage. Entries are due Mar. 15, 2024, to be reviewed by the League Executive Committee and announced during the annual inVest48 Conference, April 22-24, 2024. Categories include the following.
This award recognizes excellence in philosophy and long-lasting movement contributions. Credit union system leaders who have made an indelible mark in advancing the Credit Union Movement in and beyond Ohio are eligible for nomination.
This award recognizes a League-affiliated credit union Chief Executive Officer or senior executive who has demonstrated outstanding achievement, professionalism, integrity, dedication, and leadership in their credit union over a span of five years.
This award recognizes the leadership of a League-affiliated credit union employee or volunteer for exceptional belief, dedication, and impact regarding continued advocacy on behalf of the Credit Union Movement.
