Donna Perkins, a former assistant vice president of risk management for the $243 million Credit Union of Georgia in Woodstock, will be sentenced in July after pleading guilty to mail fraud Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta.

Perkins used her position at the credit union to fraudulently obtain more than $369,000 by taking out lines of credit, signature loans, credit card advances and refinanced auto loans in the names of her friends and family members, according to court records.

Federal prosecutors said Perkins, a resident of Atlanta, concealed her fraud by changing the mailing addresses on the accounts in the names of friends and family members to a U.S. postal box in Marietta, Ga. The fraud occurred from January 2008 to August 2010.
