"Tony's, Kim's, and Sheri's combined years of experience in the credit union movement, and their commitment to the role that credit unions can and should play in educating all consumers on the importance of good finance, make them extremely well-qualified to advance the goals of the Richard Myles Johnson Foundation," said foundation chairman Debra Gannaway, president and CEO of Norton Community Credit Union in San Bernardino. Boutelle, Hester, and Ledbetter will serve three-year terms. The Richard Myles Johnson Foundation was established to provide grants and scholarships for credit union volunteers, staff and members to attend workshops and conferences to further their educational and professional development. It also supports financial education within the communities served by credit unions.
