NORCROSS, Ga. -- Associated Credit Union has found a new president/CEO from within its ranks.
The $874 million credit union has promoted C. Lin Hodges to president/CEO, succeeding George Clarke who retired on Dec. 31 after 29 years with the credit union.
Hodges joined the $874 million Associated CU in 1979 and had served as executive vice president and chief financial officer. Timothy Bridges will succeed Hodges as CFO and as senior vice president.
In accepting his new position, Hodges said, "Although we have almost 150,000 members, we are still one of the best kept secrets in Georgia. I'd like to change that so more people can experience the value that a good credit union can deliver."
Retired President/CEO Clarke led the credit union to where it is today, building the largest credit union branch and ATM network in Georgia, according to Associated, which has 27 branches.
Bridges, who served as senior vice president and CFO of Georgia Credit Union Affiliates before coming to Associated, said he is looking forward to his new role.
"I am very pleased to be joining the talented staff at Associated," Bridges said. "I look forward to working with our staff in continuing the tradition of providing members with financial services that offer value and meet their needs."
