LAS VEGAS – CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle honored James Schenck, president/CEO of the $20.2 billion Pentagon Federal Credit Union in Alexandria, Va., as the 2017 Credit Union Hero of the Year Monday. Schenck was announced as the winner of the annual Credit Union Magazine program in May and presented with his award during a general session at CUNA’s America’s Credit Union Conference.
