Inside Cornerstone

Terrie Johnson has enjoyed a long credit union career that began in 1979, when she took a teller position at LTV Federal Credit Union, which later became Texas Trust Credit Union. Over the years, Johnson advanced through the ranks and, after 36 years, retired in 2015. However, “retirement” is often a subjective term.

Mary Beth Spuck has honed her broad credit union expertise in leadership, sales, member service, collaboration, and project management over two decades in the financial services industry. Some of that experience has inspired this international traveler, CEO, and multi-DE grad to think more holistically about her members and an above-and-beyond approach to service.

After partnering with market research firm Statista, Forbes announced the Best Credit Unions in Each State, its fourth such review, on June 24. Seven Cornerstone members made the list.

Cornerstone League’s goal of increasing education and collaboration among credit unions is strengthened by its Councils Program, which offers opportunities for networking, relationship building, operations knowledge, and Q&A through an online engagement forum with the region’s brightest, most inquisitive, and collaborative minds.

Cornerstone Foundation is partnering with GreenPath Financial Wellness, a leading national nonprofit organization, to provide a holistic financial education and counseling program to credit unions and their members in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
