Annie Vamper Helping Hands Award Luncheon

Tuesday, April 29^th | 12:00pm

When Annie Wilma Vamper passed away in May of 1990, the Community Development Credit Union (CDCU) movement lost one of its heroes. Annie's life-long dedication to the credit union movement remains an inspiration to credit unions serving low-income people and communities today. The Annie Vamper Helping Hands Award honors Annie's memory and is the highest honor presented by Inclusiv, celebrating individuals whose work for the movement continues Annie's legacy and exemplifies the CDCU mission of serving communities left behind by the financial mainstream.

Inclusiv is delighted to announce Veronica Casillas-Madrigal, President, Self-Helf Federal Credit Union, and Stanley Washington, Board Member, Berean Credit Union, as the 2025 Annie Vamper Helping Hands Award winners. Both Veronica and Stanley are true heroes of the Community Development Credit Union (CDCU) movement for their leadership and steadfast dedication to making a positive impact on their communities.
