Kenny Leonard is a 33-year-old millennial who joined a credit union as a teenager.
Although he strayed from the movement for more than 10 years, when he worked in commercial loan departments at four different banks, he never lost his affinity for credit unions.
"I didn't have as much angst, if you will, as some bankers do toward credit unions," Leonard, the winner of CU Times' 2016 Trailblazer Award for Lending Officer of the Year, said. "I had been a member of a credit union since I was in high school and always thought that they served their purpose very well. So when I saw the job listing for this opportunity at ECCU, I thought it'd be a great chance for me to get into more of an executive level position and utilize the skills that I'd learned from the banking world to help ECCU go to the next level by creating the commercial department."
