CU Times 2024 Luminaries Awards: Honoring Our Judges

These credit union-focused professionals led the way in selecting this year’s winners.

There are very few industries as helpful, thoughtful and loving as credit unions. The cooperative way we work and support each other is an amazing thing to watch each day.

This year, CU Times was incredibly fortunate to have five incredible credit union-focused professionals help us select the winners of the 2024 Luminaries Awards. We are very thankful and appreciative of the time and thoughtfulness our judges gave to us to select the individuals and organizations that stood out from hundreds of entries – this was no easy task and they delivered!

Our enormous gratitude goes to these five wonderful people:
