Idaho Top of the Hill Award Winners Honored at MAXX

Posted by on November 3, 2025

At this year’s MAXX Awards Gala in Portland, Oregon, two Idaho credit unions were recognized with the prestigious Idaho Credit Union Top of the Hill award. Congratulations to Connections Credit Union and Northwest Christian Credit Union for their outstanding commitment to advocacy and leadership in Idaho.

Connections Credit Union has consistently supported advocacy efforts in Idaho year after year. Their commitment is evident through active participation in the Idaho State Issues Working Group and consistent engagement in every government affairs meeting. Their vocal support, educational outreach, and enthusiasm for advancing the credit union movement in Idaho have become truly contagious.

Northwest Christian Credit Union has emerged as a key voice in advocacy discussions across Idaho for years. Their team is deeply engaged in efforts to modernize and improve the Idaho credit union charter, regularly collaborating with GoWest and peers to explore updates and policy solutions. They’re also committed to educating policymakers about the meaningful work credit unions are doing in communities throughout the state.

We are grateful for the leadership of Connections Credit Union and Northwest Christian Credit Union, and are excited for how their continued efforts will help shape Idaho’s credit union movement.
