“Robert H. Mackay” award goes to Fox Communities Credit Union’s Greg Hilbert

GRAND RAPIDS, MI (June 25, 2019) — Greg Hilbert, CEO of Fox Communities Credit Union in Appleton, Wisconsin, was recognized by CU*Answers as a recipient of the Robert H. Mackay award at the 2019 CU*BASE Leadership Conference held on June 19th in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Addressing the more than 200 credit union CEOs and leaders attending the CUSO’s annual conference, CU*Answers CEO Randy Karnes praised Hilbert’s leadership and his contribution to the CUSO since Fox Communities converted to the CU*BASE platform in 1997. Karnes described how the credit union had grown from $3 million in assets when Hilbert was first hired as President back in 1980, to an organization that today has $1.75 billion in assets, serving 104,000 members with a staff of 425- employees. In 2019, Fox Communities CU was ranked #1 Performing Credit Union in the Nation by S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Although Hilbert was unable to attend the event in person, he responded with his thanks. “I very much appreciate and thank you for this honor and know that I accept this as a team recognition for all of us at Fox Communities Credit Union. I am fortunate to have been blessed with an awesome team. They have fostered our amazing culture and made our growth possible as we strive to ‘Make a Positive Difference in People’s Lives’,” Hilbert wrote. “Thank you for so many years of our partnership with CU*Answers that without question contributed immensely to our success at Fox. You and CU*Answers have always stood by us as we worked through many data conversions due to mergers as well as implementing the innovations that CU*Answers provided us and our members.”

The Robert H. Mackay award was established in 2005 to recognize the leadership contribution of Robert Mackay, retired CEO of Berrien Teachers CU (now known as Honor Credit Union,) who served as a member of the CU*Answers Board of Directors from 1985 to 2007 and as Chairman for 19 of those years. Randy Karnes, CU*Answers CEO said, “Bob’s leadership and inspiration served not only as a guide but as the compass for CU*Answers to grow and prosper into a CUSO that is now known in the industry for its core values of cooperation, collaboration and innovation.” Each year this award is presented to an individual who exemplifies these leadership skills.
