A television series aimed at children and sponsored by credit unions has won next year's Herb Wegner Award for Outstanding Program.
Biz Kids is a credit union sponsored public television series that seeks to introduce business, finance and entrepreneurial skills to young people. The show has been nominated for two Emmy Awards and is one of the highest rated public television programs for children.
The Herb Wegner Awards are yearly awards given out to credit unions, credit union industry leaders and organizations each year by the National Credit Union Foundation.
"First Biz Kid$ was nominated for the highest national honors in the television industry. Now it will win the highest national honors in credit union movement," observed Missouri Corporate Credit Union President/CEO Dennis DeGroodt, who chaired NCUF's Awards & Recognition Committee during the deliberations on Outstanding Program nominations.
Every Biz Kid$ episode begins and ends with a student pulling down a projection screen over a classroom blackboard to reveal the America's Credit Unions logo, the NCUF noted when announcing the award. With a class full of students watching, a narrator reminds viewers that "Production funding for Biz Kid$ is provided by America's Credit Unions, where people are worth more than money."
