BURNSVILLE, Minn. – During a recent board meeting, US Federal Credit Union (USFCU) honored retiring employee Joanne Johnson as a Credit Union Builder through the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation (MnCUF).
Johnson joined USFCU in 1967 as a receptionist and has since held just about every position USFCU has to offer, including several leadership roles, culminating in her present position as SVP/Chief Technology Officer. Even after taking a brief time off to raise her family, Joanne has logged a total of 44 years with USFCU. During her tenure, credit union assets grew from $9 million to over $1 billion, and she helped launch over a hundred services (from checking accounts to mobile deposit), a pair of charter changes (from state to federal and from multi-SEG to community), a half-dozen mergers, and countless system conversions and upgrades, the credit union said.
“Her friendship, wisdom and dedication, as well as her unfailing commitment to members, will be missed,” said USFCU President and CEO, Bill Raker.
Johnson joins 34 other individuals who have been honored over the past six years with MnCUF’s Credit Union Builder Award. The names of the recipients and the contributing credit unions are permanently displayed in the Minnesota Credit Union Network’s lobby as a tribute to their accomplishments.
