Swendig is senior vice president of marketing and community impact for the $1 billion credit union in Dallas, where she has served for over 10 years. As one of the youngest members of the senior leadership team, Swendig said she provides a fresh perspective on the best ways to engage with and reach the next generation of young adults.
