Pinnacle Awards

Now Accepting Entries

Pinnacle AwardsCornerstone's Marketing and Business Development Council is now accepting entries for the 2023 Pinnacle Awards. All League member credit unions are encouraged to enter their most successful campaigns from 2022. A Pinnacle Award serves to honor your credit union and recognize staff for their special skills, innovation, time, and resources. There are over 20 Pinnacle Award categories to enter.  

All Pinnacle Awards will be submitted digitally through the link below, but payments will continue to be mailed to Cornerstone League at the address on the invoice.

All entries must be submitted, and payments postmarked by Feb. 3, 2023, or they will not be considered.

The Cornerstone Marketing and Business Development Council will honor the Pinnacle Award winners at Impact: Cornerstone Annual Meeting & Council Forum. Come and learn about the hottest trends, get new ideas, gain a fresh perspective, and of course make great connections with your credit union peers. You won’t want to miss it!
