Interra Credit Union’s CEO, Amy Sink, and members of the Interra executive team, recently participated in the Indiana Credit Union League’s annual convention. The event unites leaders from across Indiana’s credit union community for three days of networking, learning and discussion, according to the release from Interra.
The convention featured a lineup of guest speakers and panel discussions, allowing attendees to discuss topics shaping the industry. The event included the Chairman’s Awards Banquet, which celebrated achievements within the credit union sector.
Among the honors awarded was the Dora Maxwell Community Service Award. This award recognizes credit unions for their commitment to community service and involvement in local initiatives, according to the provided release.
Named after Dora Maxwell, a community activist, the award encourages credit unions to make a positive impact in the communities they serve.
Interra Credit Union received the Dora Maxwell Award, recognizing its “Hometown Giving” holiday project, which had its best year. The achievement reflects Interra’s ongoing dedication to supporting and uplifting the communities it serves, the release states.
“Hometown Giving” originally started as a community coat drive and has grown over the last 30 years. Through a variety of initiatives, the project provides financial support, hosts parties and events, adopts families and donates wish list items to support organizations that serve those in need. For “Hometown Giving’s” 30th year, Interra employees set a goal of raising $40,000 and that goal was surpassed by more than $7,000.
“Our staff continues to amaze me,” said Amy Sink, chief executive officer. “As a part of Interra’s commitment to ‘Do Well To Do Good,’ nothing makes me humbled than to see our staff come together and be fully invested for the greater good of this community.“
