The Conexus Community Youth Leadership Award of $500 is presented to a graduating high school student who demonstrates co-operative spirit, community involvement, and leadership. Our goal is to promote the benefits of being a Conexus Credit Union member and to recognize the contributions made to their school and community.
INTRODUCTION
The intent of the award is to recognize an individual at the time of graduation from high school for the contributions made to school life and community and to reward youth who exhibit leadership skills.
Those individuals interested in the Conexus Community Youth Leadership Award shall complete the application form and letters of support from a member of their school faculty and a local community leader. Academic achievements shall be considered, but are not the deciding factor in selecting a candidate. Final selection of the successful candidates shall be made by a committee of Conexus staff and Board members.
