“You did great!” “Job well done!” “You are the best!”
First and foremost, even though I’m using these phrases as examples, I truly mean all of it when I think about you, my loyal readers, as you help more of your members with homeownership. From the bottom of my six-chamber plasma dispersing organ, I appreciate each and every one of you and what you’re doing for your membership!
These are all familiar Earth expressions denoting instances that deserve recognition or even an award. And who doesn’t want to feel appreciated or know that others respect and recognize their hard work and achievements, right? I can tell you how humbled I was last year when I received an award for these blog posts I pull together for all of you. While my goal is completely focused on helping readers become great mortgage lenders, this recognition was an indicator that I must be doing something right in continually striving forward toward my goal.
Awards can mean different things to different individuals, but when you really think about it, awards equate to some level of success. Whether the goal is to educate credit union mortgage lenders or win your planet’s championship in Phazee, a sport most comparable to your modern-day pentathlon, taking home an award means your hard work and preparation has paid off.
Each year, myCUmortgage recognizes and awards our partner credit unions who have worked hard on all fronts of the credit union mortgage lending field of play. This year is no exception, as nominations are now open for the 2022 myCUmortgage Awards, brought to you by Partner Conference Platinum Sponsor, HomeAdvantage. As in previous years, myCUmortgage looks at the past 12 months to find the top producers, but more importantly, they look at the “how” behind those numbers as well as the innovative ways partner credit unions went about achieving such success. There are several categories for which a partner credit union can be nominated:
- Purchase Money Lender of the Year
- Lender of the Year
- Marketer of the Year
- New Partner of the Year
- Originator of the Year
- CU Select Partner of the Year
- Government Partner of the Year
During the Annual Awards Luncheon, which is scheduled for Tuesday, October 18 at the Marriott at the University of Dayton, myCUmortgage also presents the Tim Mislansky Belief Award. As I mentioned earlier, nominations for all the awards listed here are now open. CLICK HERE to download the nomination form and take note of these important deadlines:
- The “of the year” awards nominations are due August 31, 2022.

I’m hoping I see you on the red carpet during this year’s Awards Luncheon—I’ll be waiting to give you a four-tentacle salute! This year’s program will be a true showcase of our partner credit unions who are Taking Command and Charting Their Courses to Service and Success.
