CECU Receives Two Top Honors at Association Trends’ Salute to Excellence Awards


The annual TRENDY Awards ceremony is the premier event recognizing excellence among the nation’s thousands of trade and professional associations. Hosted by Association Trends and CEO Update, this year’s 44th Annual Salute to Association Excellence took place yesterday in Washington, D.C. We are thrilled to announce that CECU was named a TRENDY award winner in TWO different categories — Best Annual Report, and Best Exhibitor Marketing Kit for a trade show or convention. 

Winning first place in one category is an amazing achievement for any association. Winning first place in two separate categories is truly astonishing. The awards are further validation of CECU’s innovative mindset and commitment to continuous improvement in serving our members. We are proud of this national recognition and grateful to Association Trends and CEO Update for the awards.

CECU’s award-winning 2023 Annual Report was meticulously crafted to showcase CECU's mission, accomplishments, and influence within the sector. Meanwhile, the Exhibitor Marketing Kit serves as a comprehensive guide presenting a wide range of options for companies to exhibit their brands during the annual Career Education Convention.
