The achievements of credit unions, the world-over, would not be possible without the talents, tireless dedication and commitment of individuals and organizations, which have strived to make the vision of "building a global community" a reality.
World Council is pleased to recognize and honor individuals and organizations whose efforts have made the credit union system what it is today: an international movement of "people helping people to help themselves." That self-help and self-reliance is made possible through a global cooperative community dedicated to enabling millions of people to grow by providing access to affordable financial services.
We're proud of our international credit union leaders…those of today, the past and the next generation. That's why it is our great pleasure to distinguish such outstanding individuals and organizations with esteemed recognition and achievement awards. If you or someone you know is deserving of recognition, we encourage you to submit entries and nominations.
