APGFCU  Wins MDDCCUA Trailblazer Award    

(Aberdeen, June 4, 2008) — On Wednesday, May 28, 2008, Aberdeen Proving Ground Federal Credit Union [APGFCU] was awarded with a distinguished Trailblazer Award for Excellence in Marketing and Communications for Best Annual Report by the Maryland and District of Columbia Credit Union Association [MDDCCUA].   

Annual Reports, one of thirteen award categories, were judged on their graphic appearance, logical sequence of presentation of information, clarity of financial data and clarity of committee reports.  The theme of APGFCU’s Annual Report, “Growing,” symbolized APGFCU’s significant growth over the past 70 years in the areas of product and services, member value, and community involvement and outreach. 

The MDDCCUA has sponsored the Trailblazer Awards for 22 years to recognize credit unions that have developed successful credit union marketing and communication programs.  All credit unions affiliated with the Maryland & District of Columbia Credit Union Association were eligible to enter the awards competition.

The MDDCCUA is a volunteer organization created in 1986 to promote, develop and support the credit union movement through advocacy and education.  It is comprised of four chapters in Baltimore, Suburban MD, Western MD, and District of Columbia, each chapter representing the diversity within the MDDCCUA.

For over 70 years, APGFCU has been delivering financial education to its communities and empowering its member families to become financially secure and confident.  The credit union currently employs over 250 people and has grown to eight full-service branches in Harford and Cecil counties with a ninth branch in Forest Hill scheduled to open in the Fall of 2008.
