The Paul Revere Award

Extended Entry Deadline: August 1, 2008

The Paul Revere Award is awarded to the credit union grassroots activist of the year.  This award is intended for the individual who regularly and effectively trumpets the battle cry of the credit union community just as Paul Revere did in his day. The award is based on the grassroots contacts that have been made by individuals and reported to NAFCU.  The award will be presented at NAFCU's 2008 Congressional Caucus.

• Candidates for The Paul Revere Award should promptly respond to all NAFCU Legislative Alerts by completing the action requested and returning the attached Legislative Alert Response forms; and,
