FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla.–Eglin Federal Credit Union has been named the Large Business of the Year by the Niceville Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce at its annual awards celebration held at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center.
“This company has been everywhere you look over the past year or more,” said Chamber Chair Dr. Michael Mosley of Rocky Bayou Christian School. “It seems like they are always there to support military causes, non-profit organizations, including all the Chambers of Commerce. With us, they have sponsored Golf Classic, lunches, breakfasts, Niceville Young Professionals Golf Tournament, Sequins and Suits, the Education Committee and much more. They sit on numerous boards throughout the area in order to support and stay in tune with the needs of local organizations.

This business is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of members and in our communities.”
