ADC, Navy Federal seek MCAS nominees for Guidepost Awards

The Association of Defense Communities, together with Navy Federal Credit Union, are seeking nominees from the Marines Corps Air Station Yuma for the Guidepost Awards. The recognition program spotlights the financial and career counselors in defense communities who help guide servicemembers and their families to financial wellness.

“We hear stories from our members all the time about how a counselor helped them understand and navigate through financial decisions,” said Kelly Costa, regional manager for Navy Federal. “The Guidepost Awards serve as our opportunity to celebrate those meaningful moments and recognize these individuals for their continued dedication to keeping our defense communities strong.”

The awards program will recognize counselors at both the local and national level. Those who are selected for local recognition will automatically be included in the selection process for the national awards. The national award program will culminate with recognition at ADC’s National Summit in Washington D.C. in March.

Nominations for the Guidepost Awards are now open to the communities surrounding military installations, including MCAS Yuma.

“We are hoping that the simple nomination form will encourage as many people as possible to nominate a counselor that has helped them on their journey. It’s time we recognize the incredible work these folks do for the military community,” said Bob Ross, ADC president.

The Guidepost Awards program nomination period is open until Nov. 30. To nominate a counselor, visit guideyourmission.org/nominate.
