NEW YORK–Inclusiv has named Shayna L. Ferguson, manager of Lakota Federal Credit Union, and Winona Nava, the retired president/CEO of Guadalupe Credit Union, as the 2026 Annie Vamper Helping Hands Award honorees.
The Annie Vamper Helping Hands Award is Inclusiv’s highest honor awarded to individuals who make extraordinary contributions to advancing the mission and work of CDCUs. The award was created in 1993 in honor of Annie Vamper, a tireless advocate who dedicated herself to improving people’s lives through credit unions, the organization said.
“Both Shayna and Winona are true heroes of the Community Development Credit Union (CDCU) movement for their leadership and steadfast dedication to making a positive impact on their communities,” Inclusiv stated.
