JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- Nine years ago board Chair Connie Cason nurtured the growth of the Educational Community Credit Union-now ECCU will return the favor by nurturing the magnolia tree that honors her retirement. Considering her efforts for both education and the credit union movement it is fitting that the tree will grow in front of a Jacksonville Public Library branch near her home. After retiring from the Duval County Public Schools, where Cason worked to desegregate the teachers union, she became active on ECCU's board. She has taught "Foundation and Structure of Credit Unions" to all Northeast Florida credit union employees for 14 years and has earned the Florida Credit Union League's Volunteer of the Year award for leading the fight in her area for HR1151. Under her guidance, ECCU has grown from a $50 million institution to Northeast Florida's second largest credit union with $400 million in assets serving over 68,000 members. The board, employees and members of ECCU find that the magnolia tree, with its sweet smelling blossoms and silent offer of shade, is an appropriate tribute to Cason's modest persona.
