These winners are continually seeking out new ideas and innovations that make our state a better place for our members and staff. They truly live by the standard of “People Helping People.” This year’s MCUL and MCUF Award winners are the embodiment of the credit union difference.

While we take the time to honor our member credit unions several times throughout the year, there’s no questions that their impact is felt every single day by the individuals, families and communities they serve.

MCUL and MCUF award winners will be formally honored at MCUL’s 2019 Annual Convention & Exposition in Detroit, this June.
