BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A full month before the deadline, Who's Who in America's Credit Unions has announced that it has more than 3,000 nominations in queue for the inaugural edition of the nationwide credit union recognition program.

The nomination deadline is Oct. 15 and, at the current pace, nominations could reach 10,000 by then. Publication is scheduled for 2008.

"The nominations reflect the width and depth of the credit union movement," said Kirk Cuevas, president/CEO of Who's Who in America's Credit Unions, a fully-owned subsidiary of Birmingham, Ala.-based Dollar Associates, LLC. "The biggest bulk of the nominees are directors and other volunteer leaders, mostly nominated by their CEOs and other volunteer colleagues. However, we've also received over a thousand nominations of CEOs, managers, officers, league officials, trade association leaders and even some prominent legislators and regulators. At this pace, we are convinced that Who's Who is going to be a well received prestigious reward program and an extremelyvaluable publication."
