ST. PAUL, Minn.–The Minnesota Credit Union Foundation (MnCUF) and Minnesota Catholic Credit Union have recognized George and Kay Rossez as CU Builders, in honor of their retirement from the board and supervisory committee after 60 years of dedication to the credit union movement.
“George and Kay have offered countless hours and steadfast guidance to help Minnesota Catholic Credit Union prosper, and help thousands of members over the years,” said David Sawin, Minnesota Catholic Credit Union CEO.
In 2011, the couple 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.
Eight-one 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, the credit union said.
