Annie Vamper Helping Hands Award Luncheon

Tuesday, April 29th |  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.

The 2024 winners included:
Melissa Marquez, Genesee Co-op FCU, Rochester, NY
Amy Nelson, Point West CU, Portland, OR
Kathya Pierre, 1199 SEIU FCU, New York, NY
