WASHINGTON – The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) has announced the winners of its George E. Myers (GEM) Scholarship.
This year’s scholarship recipients are Valjon Lyons of Coast Guard Employees Credit Union; Lindsey Blazek of Fort Sill FCU; Camille Weston of R-G FCU, and David Riley, AltaOne FCU.
DCUC said the fund’s purpose is to provide scholarships for volunteers, management, and/or staff of DCUC-member credit unions so they can further their professional credit union education, knowledge, and leadership skills. Through the scholarships, DCUC said members are provided an opportunity to partake in educational forums and classes at either at the state or national level “at virtually little or no cost to their credit union.”
‘Foundation of Success’
“A credit union’s employees, leadership, and volunteers are the foundation of its success. DCUC is proud to be able to support these opportunities to grow their knowledge and skillsets so that they can better serve their members,” said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC president/CEO.
The Defense Council established the George E. Myers Scholarship Fund in 1996 in honor of COL George E. Myers, USA (Ret.). Col. Myers was an executive secretary of the Council from 1973 to 1986 and again from 1989 and 1990. He was also inducted into DCUC’s Hall of Honor in August of 2000.
Since 1997, DCUC said it has awarded 69 scholarships totaling over $204,000. The proceeds from DCUC's Official White House Christmas Ornament Fundraiser each year is the sole funding for the George E. Myers Scholarship.
