LAS VEGAS — A California credit union director who in 2005 worked free for four months to turn around a Berkeley credit union at the brink of collapse won top national honors here last week as "Director of the Year" during the annual National Directors' Convention.
Charles Dawes, director of Travis Credit Union in Vacaville and a 32-year veteran of the industry, received the honor at closing ceremonies of the conference held at the Venetian Hotel/Casino.
"He is an amazing person and we are grateful to have someone of his vision and compassion in our industry," declared Andy Papanoe, who nominated Dawes for the title and is the president and CEO of the surviving $80 million Cooperative Community FCU of Berkeley.
