Submit applications now for NAFCU's 2017 Paul Revere Award

NAFCU is now accepting member credit union applications for the association's 2017 Paul Revere Award, which recognizes a credit union supporter who goes to great lengths in his or her grassroots and political efforts.

The deadline for entries is Aug. 11. The winner will be announced and recognized during NAFCU's Congressional Caucus, Sept. 10-13 in Washington, D.C.

"The Paul Revere Award recognizes one's dedication to the credit union industry through their grassroots and political efforts throughout the year," said NAFCU Director of Political Affairs Dan O'Brien. "This is someone we can count on who regularly and effectively advocates for the industry's top legislative and regulatory priorities."

  • have held at least two meeting during 2016 or 2017 with each of their members of Congress (two senators and one representative);
  • have responded to all NAFCU Grassroots Alerts by completing the actions requested, such as phone calls, emails and letters to their lawmakers; and
  • be in regular contact with NAFCU for the most up-to-date legislative and regulatory information.
