While this year held some uncertainties on whether school award ceremonies would be held, Honor team members thought outside the box to find other creative ways to present to recipients. One winner was even surprised in a “Publishers Clearing House” style presentation. Accompanied with a live video stream, balloons, and a large check, Honor’s Northern Michigan Regional Manager, Jamie Gollakner, arranged to surprise his scholarship winner at their home. “Although, unlike Publishers Clearing House, we aren’t giving $1000.00 every week for life, receiving the Community Commitment Scholarship is the start of building the foundation for future leaders,” commented Gollakner, “By being involved in our communities, these students are helping to make their community a better place.” Honor Credit Union is proud to serve more than 91,000 members across the State of Michigan. Providing solutions for your financial success and giving back to the communities it serves remains the driving force behind Honor Credit Union.
