2012 NAFCU Volunteer of the Year

The National Association of Federal Credit Unions named Carl Rummel, Missoula FCU Board Chair, the 2012 Volunteer of the Year for credit unions with $150 million or more in assets. This award recognizes Rummel as an exemplary leader who is an inspiration to his colleagues nationwide

This award is well-deserved. Missoula FCU counts Rummel as one of the most dedicated and motivational leaders the credit union has ever had. He leads by example, and his tenure as board has led to an environment of teamwork between board, senior management, and staff. He has even structured board meetings so that volunteers and staff actually enjoy the process and manage to get their work done in a short time frame.

Carl Rummel talks to Montana credit union volunteers during his workshop Motivating Volunteers and bringing FUN to the Boardroom at the Network\'s Annual Conference in April.

Roberta Smith, Sr. VP of MFCU, describes Carl as “A very unique leader -– technically savvy, financially a wizard, results oriented, yet one of the kindest, most fun, sincere and visionary people you would ever want to meet.”

Carl has served on both the Supervisory Committee and the Board of Directors of Missoula FCU since 2004. He's been Board Treasurer, Vice-Chair, and has been Chair for the last two years. In addition, Carl has been a speaker at Montana Credit Union Network Annual Convention, the World Council of Credit Unions, the Credit Union National Association Annual Volunteer Conference, and more. Carl is an incredibly dedicated and motivational leader who volunteers countless hours every month
