Representatives from five Portland-area credit unions joined your Association Monday at the Better Future Awards Luncheon sponsored by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR-1).
The congressperson honored three community organizations for making a positive difference providing educational, business, and healthcare opportunities.

Organizations presented with awards include:
