Minnesota Catholic Credit Union Honors George and Kay Rossez as CU Builders

6/7/2022

 
PictureKay and George Rossez
The Minnesota Credit Union Foundation (MnCUF) and Minnesota Catholic Credit Union are proud to recognize George and Kay Rossez as CU Builders, in recognition of 60 years of dedication to the credit union movement. 

​​
They have offered countless hours and steadfast guidance to help Minnesota Catholic Credit Union prosper, and help thousands of members over the years. In 2011, they received the Minnesota Credit Union Network Volunteer of the Year award; and in 2019 were inducted into the national Credit Union House Hall of Leaders, in recognition for the significant impact they have made on the credit union movement at the local, state and national levels.

Created in 2008, the Credit Union Builder Award honors an individual’s dedication to the success, growth, and vitality of the not-for-profit financial movement in Minnesota. Dedications are typically made at a time of significance to acknowledge an individual’s contributions to credit unions.

81 individuals have been designated as Credit Union Builders since the award's inception. The names of the recipients and the contributing credit unions are permanently displayed in the Minnesota Credit Union Network’s lobby as a tribute to those who have dedicated time and energy to building the credit union movement.

Contact Andrea Molnau, Executive Director of the MnCUF with questions.

​Links to the individual award applications are below. Those who enter will compete with other credit unions in the same asset category.

    ​
  • ​Louise Herring Award for Philosophy-in-Action focuses on the internal programs and services of a credit union. Credit unions who received the award have demonstrated the practical application of the credit union philosophy within the actual operations of the credit union.
