MADISON, Wis.—Nominations are now open for World Council of Credit Unions’ 2024 Distinguished Service Award (DSA).
First presented in 1986, this “prestigious award honors those who have provided outstanding service” to credit union development outside their home country, according to the World Council.
“Individuals or institutions that have worked to further World Council's vision of expanding financial inclusion through credit unions beyond their borders are eligible for the Distinguished Service Award,” Thomas Belekevich, World Council director of member services said in a statement. “We strongly encourage our member organizations to nominate any and all credit union leaders or institutions that exemplify the international spirt of cooperation and service.”
Individual recipients are those whose actions have significantly benefited global credit union development, while institutional recipients are organizations that have provided financial or technical assistance to develop international credit union movements and their service infrastructures over an extended period of time, WOCCU explained.
The association noted the nomination process is fully digital and can be completed online. Nominations must be made by a World Council member organization or a credit union affiliated with a member organization by March 8, 2024.
What Winners Receive
Recipients will receive a free registration to the 2024 World Credit Union Conference, July 21-24, in Boston, where the winner(s) will be announced and presented with their awards.
The World Council reminded the DSA is not an annual award but is presented based on the proven achievements and worthiness of candidates.
