MADISON, WI – The Credit Union Executives Society is pleased to announce Timothy Cannon, president/CEO, 1st Credit Union of Gainesville, Gainesville, Fla., has been selected to receive the Fred Johnson CEO Institute Scholarship for its 2013 CEO Institute program.
The scholarship is administered by the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF), and given in honor of CUES’ former president/CEO Fred Johnson, who retired in 2012.
Cannon has been in the credit union industry for eight years. Prior to his current position, he served as VP of real estate and commercial services at Florida Credit Union, Gainesville, Fla.
According to his scholarship application, Cannon wants to attend CEO Institute so he can build a foundation to aid in building a stronger financial institution to serve his members.
