2011 Chairman’s Award for Excellence in Serving the Needs of LMI Consumers
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced today a new Chairman’s Award for Excellence to recognize and honor the work of individuals or small groups at FDIC-insured financial institutions who are instrumental in creating and promoting programs that meet the credit and deposit needs of low- and moderate-income (LMI) consumers. As many as six non-monetary awards will be presented to individuals that demonstrate excellence in providing economic products and programs for these consumers.
Individuals or small groups of employees at FDIC-insured institutions who are responsible for developing or implementing products or programs may nominate themselves, be nominated by someone at their institution or by a third party, such as consumers or not-for-profit organizations with which the institution has partnered. The winners will be announced in the spring or summer of 2011.
