Nominations open for 2022 Herb Wegner Memorial Awards
The National Credit Union Foundation is now seeking nominations for the 2022 Wegner Awards, looking to the credit union movement to nominate individuals and organizations for the 33rd annual Herb Wegner Memorial Awards to be presented during its fundraising gala.
“2022 the year we will be back together in person to celebrate our credit union movement!” said Gigi Hyland, Executive Director at the Foundation. “Through all of our challenges these past 14 months, credit union leaders have stepped up, leveraged their cooperative principles and values and are finding ways to bolster and sustain their employees’, members’ and communities’ financial well-being. Living and breathing the credit union difference is always worth celebrating and we can’t wait to be with you in February 2022 to honor our movement’s exemplary leaders.”

It’s a new year, a time to reset and realign our mission as credit unions and our purpose serving members. The National Credit Union Foundation is committed to inspiring credit unions to leverage their cooperative values to empower and motivate employees. One way we do this is through our annual Herb Wegner Memorial Awards Dinner.
Due to the pandemic, the Foundation has shifted our signature fundraising dinner to a virtual Foundation Celebration on March 2. The Celebration is an hour-long program to highlight the amazing work of credit unions and will bring together some of our favorite past Wegner Awardees to be inspired by their work in our movement.
