FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — Eglin Federal Credit Union (EFCU) has been named the Large Business of the Year by the Niceville Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce.
“This company has been everywhere you look over the past year or more. It seems like they are always there to support military causes, non-profit organizations, including all the chambers of commerce,” said Dr. Michael Mosley of Rocky Bayou Christian School, chamber chair of the board
Mosley said EFCU has sponsored the chamber’s golf classic, lunches, breakfasts, Niceville Young Professionals golf tournament, Sequins and Suits, the education committee, and other activities and events. In addition, he said EFCU sits on numerous boards throughout the area in order to support and stay in tune with the needs of local organizations.
EFCU recently helped launch an Okaloosa County Schools suicide prevention program with the Hope Squad and regularly partners with Okaloosa Saves.
“They have been in our area since 1954, and they are always seeking opportunities to serve the needs of our communities. This business is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of members and in our communities.”
The announcement was made at the chamber’s annual awards celebration held at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center on Feb. 9, 2023.
