ATHENS, Ga.--Southeastern Regional Credit Union Schools (SRCUS) announced that Kelli Green of Centric Federal Credit Union (based in West Monroe, LA) has been awarded the 2023 Hugh Watson Award.
Selected by vote of her classmates, Green accepted the award on June 23 during this year’s session of the Southeast CUNA Management School in Athens, GA. The award recognizes the exceptional contributions she has made to the class over the course of the three-year program and her outstanding leadership skills.
Mississippi native now Louisiana resident, Green is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi and currently serves as senior vice president of marketing at Centric Federal Credit Union. Prior to joining the credit union movement in 2012, she served five years of her career in training and staff development with local community banks. She ‘earned her ears’ from the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World and attributes much of her career preparation to the internship program.
“Being recognized by my classmates, now referred to as my extended family is incredibly humbling,” revealed Green. “In fact, it’s not often I’m without words and this moment indeed left me speechless. Honored is an understatement.”
