DuTrac Community Credit Union is proud to celebrate the importance of saving and financial empowerment through participation in the 2026 America Saves Week campaign — a nationwide initiative encouraging individuals and families to take meaningful steps toward stronger financial futures.

As part of this effort, DuTrac was recognized through the prestigious Designation of Savings Excellence (DOSE) award program, presented annually by America Saves and the Consumer Federation of America. The award honors financial institutions that go above and beyond in helping members establish healthy saving habits and achieve long-term financial success.

The 2026 campaign, held April 6–10, centered around the theme, “Own Your Financial Story: Small Steps, Big Impact.” Throughout the week, participating organizations across the country encouraged consumers to build stronger financial habits through practical savings strategies, education, and accessible financial tools.

Out of thousands of participating organizations nationwide, only a select group of banks and credit unions receive the DOSE distinction each year. Winners are chosen based on measurable impact, including the number of new savings accounts opened and the total dollars deposited into both new and existing savings accounts during the campaign period.

DuTrac’s recognition reflects its ongoing commitment to empowering members with the knowledge, resources, and encouragement needed to reach their financial goals. Through engaging social media videos, educational content, and targeted email communications, DuTrac encouraged members to take meaningful steps toward stronger financial stability. By promoting consistent saving habits and providing trusted financial guidance, DuTrac continues to make a positive difference in the communities it serves.

“At DuTrac, we believe every financial journey begins with small, intentional steps,” Andrew Hawkinson, President/CEO of DuTrac shared. “Helping our members build confidence and stability through saving is at the heart of what we do.”

This recognition reinforces DuTrac’s mission to support financial wellness at every stage of life — helping members turn everyday saving decisions into lasting financial success.
