About Karen Hart
To honor Karen Hart’s 41-year career in dedicated service to credit unions, the Cornerstone Foundation launched the Karen
Hart Legacy Society. Credit unions can become part of the Society and make a donation to create an impact that extends beyond the span of one’s career or lifetime.
Karen Hart’s career at Cornerstone League (formerly Texas Credit Union League) started at 17. Forty-one years later, in 2021, she retired, having advanced from a check typist to chief financial officer, chief administrative officer, and executive
vice president. This lifelong commitment to an organization is uncommon; however, for Hart Cornerstone and credit unions were a higher calling.
“I love this company, and it’s just that simple,” Hart said. “To quote one of my favorite movies, Aliens, ‘Every day is a holiday, every meal is a banquet, every paycheck is a fortune, and every formation is a parade.’ I have always taken great pride in everything we do for credit unions. I believe in our principles, our philosophy, and the fact that we go above and beyond to serve a movement that gives back. There is no better job.”
