Kim Sponem ends long reign; Sue Johnson appointed to Corporate Central Board
MILWAUKEE, WI (June 21, 2018) — After 14 years of exemplary volunteer service, including Board Chairman from 2015–2017, Kim Sponem, President/CEO of Summit Credit Union in Madison, Wis., has decided to step down from the Corporate Central Board of Directors.
“Since joining the Board in 2004, Kim has played an integral role in shaping Corporate Central into what it is today — one of the strongest, most progressive corporate’s in the country,” said Eric Chrisinger, Corporate Central Chairman of the Board.
“It’s been a privilege to serve the members of Corporate Central for so many years,” said Sponem. “Working with the Corporate Central Board and management team has truly been a blessing, and I’m excited to see the positive impact they will have on their members in the years to come.”
“Kim has always been very active in the movement, serves on several boards, while leading one of the largest credit unions in Wisconsin. We were fortunate to have Kim on our board for so many years,” said Chris Felton, Corporate Central President/CEO. “We send a heartfelt thank you to Kim for her outstanding leadership.”
To fill the vacant board position, the Corporate Central Board unanimously appointed Sue Johnson, Fort Community Credit Union President/CEO. Johnson has been with the credit union, headquartered in Fort Atkinson, Wis., for over 26 years.
“I’m looking forward to the extraordinary opportunity to work with other credit union leaders and support Corporate Central’s mission to help credit unions across the country grow and succeed,” Johnson said about her appointment.
“When one door closes, another opens. We are thrilled to have Sue join Corporate Central’s Board of Directors and look forward to her leadership contributions,” remarked Chairman Chrisinger.
