After the announcement Sunday afternoon that Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, had died, statements from credit union industry leaders were distributed to eulogize the longest-living president in American history.
America’s Credit Unions President/CEO Jim Nussle said, “President Carter was a friend to credit unions and someone who lived the ‘people helping people’ philosophy throughout his life in public service and in his beloved community of Plains, Georgia. He leaves an incredible legacy of service to humanity, particularly those from marginalized communities. While gone, he remains an inspiration as we all move forward and build on his work.”
