AUBURN HILLS, Mich.– In honor of their commitment to community, Genisys Credit Union has been awarded the Mayor’s Recognition Award by City of Auburn Hills Mayor Kevin McDaniel.
The award was presented by 2022 Auburn Hills Chamber Silver & Gold Awards.
The award is bestowed upon a recipient who has gone above and beyond to contribute to the success of the community by way of time, talent, and / or treasure. The award seeks to recognize those who exemplify the spirit of giving back to the community.
“Our deepest thank you to Mayor Kevin McDaniel for recognizing and honoring the efforts of the Genisys team for giving back to the Auburn Hills community,” said Jackie Buchanan, president and CEO. “At its core, the foundation of Genisys is rooted in the philosophy of ‘people helping people.’ We are grateful to be able to do just that in all that we do; for our members, communities, and team.”
The credit union said it has been a longtime supporter of signature events hosted by the City including: Summerfest, Paddlepalooza, National Night Out, and Diwali Festival of Lights.

This year, GCU partnered with the City of Auburn Hills to build a gazebo at Riverside Park in Downtown Auburn Hills.
