The Selection Process
Credit unions will submit their project binder, album or spiral bound book, along with a completed, typed entry form (required).  Support materials for the project should be included in the binder, album or book.  Please no electronic media.  We also strongly recommend that the credit union completes and follows the checklist that is provided.

A subcommittee of TCUL's Awards & Recogition Committee will judge the entries.  Judges will take into consideration the following:

  1. What were the goals of the project and how did they show social concern for the community?
  2. How did the project help support the needs of the community?
  3. Were the project's target audience(s) defined, including who was involved and who benefited?
  4. What strategies were used to reach the project's goal?
  5. How were the project's promotional materials targeted to the intended audience(s) and how did they communicate the project's goals?
  6. How is this project unique?  How does it demonstrate extraordinary effort and devotion of time and organization by the credit union?
  7. Were the measurable or defined results of the project achieved?
  8. Did the project demonstrate credit union values of mutual self-help, cooperation, economic empowerment and volunteerism?
