The CU Times staff is excited to present the first group of LUMINARIES winners. The Class of 2022 winners were honored for the active and inclusive ways they are driving the credit union industry forward. These 11 individuals and organizations have shown they are producing meaningful, innovative and replicable results in the areas that matter most to credit unions: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Executive Leadership, Innovation in Technology, Product Innovation and, of course the Rising Stars of the industry. The Class of 2022 CU Times LUMINARIES were selected by a distinguished group of judges from across the credit union movement, as well as by our editorial team. Their stories are being told online and in our print issues via features and other coverage. The winners were honored on stage at the first-ever LUMINARIES awards gala at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 9. Our CU Times team congratulates this year's Class of 2022 finalists and winners. Also, thank you to all of the individuals, credit unions, credit union-supporting organizations who participated in this year's LUMINARIES program.
