INDIANAPOLIS – A newly established award was presented during the Indiana Credit Union League Convention.
The Chairman’s Global Good Award was established to recognize involvement in global or domestic projects that further credit unions and their values with immigrant populations or in foreign countries. The inaugural award was presented by the Chairman of the Indiana Credit Union League, Dallas Bergl of INOVA FCU, to Marco Dominguez, Director of Community Relations at Financial Center First CU.
Dominguez has made many contributions to the global credit union movement including service to the Hispanic community in Indiana, financial literacy education and global outreach. He conducts financial education weekly at the Mexican Consulate in Indianapolis. He has also traveled to Colombia to talk about financial literacy in that country, and he was a presenter at the recent World Council of Credit Unions conference, where he taught credit union leaders from around the world how to deliver financial literacy education. He has also been a gracious host, participant and translator when visitors from other countries have come to Indiana, the league said.
Since 2016, through programs available from the World Council, credit union visitors have come to Indiana from Ecuador, the Netherlands, the Caribbean island of Dominica and the Latin American countries of Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Guatemala.
