Credit Union Honors Board Member and Establishes Len Augustine Community Impact Award 

Travis Credit Union showcased the positive impact it has had on nonprofits and organizations across Northern California in 2024 through its work in financial wellness, advocacy, community service, scholarships and more. The event, held at Travis Credit Union’s corporate office in Vacaville, also recognized former Vacaville mayor and Travis Credit Union Board Member Len Augustine, highlighting his enduring legacy and numerous contributions, including his dedication to financial education and literacy and serving as an instrumental advocate in helping Travis Credit Union win city approval to build its new corporate office in Vacaville.

“My interest has been to ensure that our region has a reputable credit union like Travis Credit Union serving the area,” said Len Augustine. “What a credit union represents—a commitment to community and giving back, is an essential part of our fabric. To have a financial institution that cares about people, I’m proud of being part of that.”
