MADISON, Wis.—Nominations are open for the World Council of Credit Unions' 2020 Distinguished Service Award (DSA).
The Distinguished Service Award honors individuals and organizations that have provided outstanding service to credit union development outside their home country. DSA winners will be presented at the 2020 Joint Credit Union Conference, July 19-22 in Los Angeles.
"The Distinguished Service Award is the highest honor one can receive in the global credit union community,” said World Council President and CEO Brian Branch. "We are pleased to recognize and celebrate those who have gone above and beyond, leaving an impressionable footprint in our global movement."
Individuals and organizations whose activities and achievements have furthered World Council's vision to expand financial inclusion worldwide through the global credit union community are eligible for nomination by World Council member organizations.
‘Beyond National Boundaries’
According to WOCCU, individual recipients are those whose actions have significantly benefited global credit union development beyond their national boundaries. Institutional recipients are organizations or agencies that have provided financial or technical assistance to develop international credit union movements and their service infrastructures over an extended period. Credit unions affiliated with World Council member organizations may also nominate individuals or organizations with the endorsement of a World Council member organization.
This year World Council will provide each DSA recipient with a complimentary conference registration and one companion registration for the 2020 Joint Credit Union Conference.
Nominations must be made by a World Council member organization and are due Friday, March 27, 2020. Visit www.woccu.org/dsa to download the nomination criteria and nomination form and see a list of past winners.
