Charles “Neal” Probus and George Barnett were appointed to serve two open positions on the Board of Directors until the 2016 election.
The credit union celebrated its 50th Anniversary at the 50th Annual Meeting with festivities that included a display of vintage cars from the 60s and 70s, music of the top hits from the 60s and 70s, a custom-made 1965 Red Mustang bench with a drive-In theater backdrop, and a variety of standups of popular icons from 1965.

John McKenzie, President of the Indiana Credit Union League, was the guest speaker for the Heritage Federal Credit Union 50th Annual Meeting and presented the credit union with two special recognition plaques in celebration of the credit union’s 50th Anniversary.
Ruth Jenkins, CCE, President and CEO of Heritage Federal Credit Union stated, “These individuals were elected to serve on the Board of Directors by their fellow members of the credit union. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, each member owns the credit union and has a vote, regardless of his or her financial stature. The volunteers elected to our board dedicate hours of their personal time for board meetings, training, as well as committee meetings, in order to serve their over 47,000+ fellow members of Heritage Federal Credit Union. I want to thank our Board of Directors and our dedicated employees, both current and past who have helped bring us to 50 years of service to our members; we couldn’t have done it without you.”
