GoWest Awards Workshop on May 1 Offers Insider Tips to Make Your Nomination Shine

Posted by Alyse Knudsen on April 22, 2026

The GoWest Awards celebrate the credit unions, leaders, and programs that bring the cooperative difference to life — and nomination season is happening now!

To help you put your best story forward, GoWest is hosting a GoWest Awards Workshop on Friday, May 1, from 10–10:30 a.m. PT / 11–11:30 a.m. MT. Whether this is your first time submitting or you’ve nominated in the past, this interactive session will help you prepare a strong, compelling entry to showcase your credit union’s programs and people.

During the workshop, you’ll learn about the 2026 categories — including the new Storytelling With Purpose award — the nomination and judging process, and what finalists and winners can expect when they are celebrated at MAXX 2026 this October in Denver. You’ll also hear insights from the GoWest team, judges, and past winners on what makes a submission stand out and how to bring your credit union’s story to life.

Come ready with questions. This open‑forum workshop is designed to support you throughout the nomination process and help ensure your people and programs get the recognition they deserve.
