All of us can think of people we know and people we work with that make our lives richer. People that are mentors, people that make us smile, people that we love to be around. John Rice is one of those people. John has been working in the credit union industry for nearly 39 years, and we’re honored that he chose to end his credit union career working at Corporate Central as our Vice President Strategic Initiatives. Twenty-eight years ago, John was the CEO of a Milwaukee area credit union and opened up his shop to a credit union newbie from then Wisconsin Corporate Central Credit Union (yours truly) and taught me everything I know about credit unions!
While his long career and success in delivering on the credit union mission defines his involvement in the movement, the measure of John Rice, the man, is his character. John cares. John is a wonderful person. John is my friend – and he always will be.
As we say farewell to John, we wish him and his wife Karen the very best in retirement. Now John gets to be a full-time grandpa for his grandson. Thank you, John…career well done!
