Entry Tips

  • The nomination form cannot be saved so it’s a good idea to prep your entry in another format (like Word) before starting to fill it out.
  • Be thoughtful with your responses and fully describe why you believe the individual or credit union deserves the award.
  • Use the recommended word count parameters to include lots of details so the Recognition Advisory Committee has as much information as possible to consider.
  • Attach any supporting material, like photos or videos, that you think will help bring the entry to life.
  • Provide a link to any website or social media that has been used to promote the individual or credit union’s accomplishment.

 

Nomination Inspiration

2023 Community Impact Winner – Community Choice Credit Union

Community Choice Credit Union’s Member Service Representative Kayla Burby made the suggestion to have a bicycle rehab event because of the impact of homelessness she felt in high school which led her to rely on her bicycle to take care of her and her sister’s everyday needs. She knew she wasn’t the only person in the community who has or would experience this so the event was created to help community members bring their bikes back to life. Check out their inspiring story below.

Submit your nominations by May 31, and be sure to get your tickets to MAXX and the GoWest Awards Dinner and Gala too!
