One of the most prestigious awards that the KCUA presents annually is our Political Involvement Award. This award allows us the opportunity to recognize an individual for their extraordinary efforts in the political process on behalf of the credit union movement. The winners of this award recognize the importance of political involvement to the credit union movement and have taken extraordinary action to get involved.

We recognize individuals for their strong commitment to advancing the credit union movement politically through her efforts in both federal and state politics.

They never hesitate to step forward and speak to legislators on behalf the credit union movement in Kansas. Each of the winners is a shining example of how one passionate individual can make a meaningful impact for the credit union movement.
