Millie Cox's legacy is enthusiasm for the credit
union cause and tireless efforts to protect credit union interests
by building positive relationships between Hoosier credit unions
and state and federal legislators. This annual scholarship award
has been established to recognize individuals who embody Millie's
ideals by distinguishing themselves through grassroots political
involvement and efforts to protect credit union interests. It
is awarded annually to the manager of a small credit union to
help offset costs to attend CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference.
This conference provides the recipient with the opportunity
to benefit from the unique educational material provided by
this conference. No lobbying activities are required of the
recipient of this award.
About Millie Cox
Millie Cox retired as vice president of governmental affairs at
the League after 27 years of employment. Cox's work at the League
included lobbying at the state and national levels, managing the
Indiana Credit Union Political Action Committee (ICUPAC), and providing
regulatory consulting assistance to credit unions throughout the
state on a variety of issues. She has also volunteered her service
by serving on the board of directors of Central FCU.
Indiana credit unions are not the only ones that are grateful for
Millie's contributions. She was named a Sagamore of the Wabash by
the late Gov. Frank O'Bannon. This is the highest honor bestowed
on citizens by the Governor of Indiana. Additionally, the Indiana
General Assembly passed a Joint Resolution in her name April 21,
2003 and remarks in her honor were also entered in the Congressional
Record Sept. 4, 2003.
