WASHINGTON – At CUNA's GAC, Credit Union Times sat down with the soon to be retired WesCorp President/CEO Dick Johnson to see where's he been and where's he headed.
The interview occurred the morning after the Wegner Awards dinner where Johnson was honored with the Wegner Lifetime Achievement Award.

He had about 700 attendees rolling with some off-the-cuff comments. He drew a lot of laughs right off the bat for saying that when he retired from the Marines, he was under the impression that civilians didn't do much of anything valuable, but was quickly proven wrong by the credit union industry.
