INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Credit Union League has been recognized for a century of service to credit unions. The League celebrates its 100th anniversary this year and received the Century Award from Indiana Governor Mike Braun at a Statehouse ceremony to mark this milestone.

The Indiana League was the Midwest’s first credit union association, founded on Oct. 9, 1925.

“It’s a testament to the member-focused, purpose-driven mission of Indiana’s credit unions that we can celebrate 100 years as their association this year,” said League President John McKenzie. “This milestone is an achievement made possible because of today’s 126 member-owned, not-for-profit Indiana credit unions serving 2.8 million Hoosiers and the role of the Indiana Credit Union League in supporting credit union success over so many decades.”

The Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards honor Hoosier businesses and organizations that have remained in operation for a minimum of 100 or 50 consecutive years, respectively, and have demonstrated a commitment to community service. More than 1,280 Indiana companies have been recognized during the award’s 33-year history.
