ORLANDO, Fla., February 7, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Orlando Credit Union was honored with the SoDo District Business of the Month Award in a ceremony held today in Orlando, Florida. According to a recent press release, the award was presented by SoDo Main Street Executive Director Misty Heath, with Orlando Credit Union President and CEO Suzanne Weinstein and Vice President of Marketing David Duncan among the attendees from the credit union.

David Duncan, representing Orlando Credit Union, shared his thoughts on receiving the award, "It is a momentous day for us here at Orlando Credit Union in receipt of this award from Executive Director, Misty Heath and the SoDo Main Street Board. We are absolutely humbled and honored at this recognition of our commitment to the SoDo District neighborhood of Orlando.” Duncan also mentioned, “SoDo represents the richness of Orlando. Tree-lined streets, beautiful historic neighborhoods, extensive access to commerce from streets such as South Orange Avenue, and a diverse population of all ethnicities, economies, and professions. We love being a part of the fabric that is a patchwork of community from our Orlando Credit Union SoDo location.”

The SoDo Main Street Program, under the leadership of Misty Heath since 2021, is part of a broader initiative that has been revitalizing historic commercial districts across America for over 40 years through Main Street America. The Orlando Main Street program, celebrating its 15th year, includes 12 programs across the metro area, fostering community commitment from local businesses.

Heath highlighted the importance of community engagement from businesses like Orlando Credit Union, "It is the commitment to community that main streets foster and that is what we seek from businesses investing in communities … and when we experience that we like to highlight it. Therefore, together, with the SoDo District Board of Directors, we recognize Orlando Credit Union as the February 2024 Business of the Month."

Duncan acknowledged the role of the SoDo Main Street Program in the credit union's local engagement, "Our engagement in SoDo is due in part to Ms. Heath. Her extended welcome and embrace of our business help us entrench our presence in this neighborhood and enhances our interest when contributing in a meaningful way to SoDo. We (Orlando Credit Union) delve into SoDo, and this acknowledgment of our commitment is so incredibly meaningful.”
