Mississippi Credit Union Hall of Fame
The Mississippi Credit Union Hall of Fame recognizes the commitment, leadership and dedication that deserving individuals have made to the credit union movement.  Tenure of service, contributions, achievements and the impact the individual has made not only at their respective credit union(s), but also in the industry, are among the considerations.  The inductee(s) for the current year received special recognition at our Annual Meeting & Convention, which is held in May of each year.  Hall of Fame nominations are due no later than March 15 of the current year.
