Congratulations to two Manitoba credit union employees for receiving the Canadian Credit Union Association's 2021 National Credit Union Young Leader Award!

Amanda Gilchrist (Assiniboine Credit Union) and Rob Unruh (Access Credit Union) are two of the five award finalists announced during the 2021 CCUA Virtual Annual General Meeting.

The National Credit Union Young Leaders Award recognizes young leaders in Canada's credit union system. The award helps identify the best and brightest young employees, motivate them, and publicize their accomplishments to inspire others.

Amanda and Rob are keen contributors to young leader initiatives at the provincial level, as members of Credit Union Young Leaders of Manitoba (CUYLM) Executive Committee. Amanda currently serves as the CUYLM Committee Chair, and Rob is a recent alumni of the committee, with a term that concluded in January 2021.

CCUA will be hosting a presentation to honour the National Young Leader Award recipients on June 7, 2021 at 2pm CST. Register for the event here.

One of the five award winners will be selected to receive a $10,000 scholarship. The scholarship recipient will be named during the 2021 National Conference for Canada's Credit Unions.
