GoWest Announces Finalists for the 2026 MAXX Awards
The GoWest Credit Union Association has announced finalists for its 2026 MAXX Awards, recognizing credit unions across six states that demonstrate excellence in community impact and cooperation. The awards highlight initiatives such as financial education programs, disaster relief efforts, and employee-driven philanthropy. Finalists were selected by a panel of 45 credit union leaders from the GoWest region. Winners will be announced at an event on October 9, 2026 in Denver. Notable finalists include SELCO Community Credit Union for its $450,000 community reinvestment program and TAPCO Credit Union for a financial education initiative that helped students open savings accounts. The MAXX Awards celebrate the 'People Helping People' philosophy of credit unions by recognizing their contributions to social responsibility, workplace culture, and member impact. These efforts are seen as key drivers in strengthening local communities and advancing the broader credit union movement.
