Though Childs said she will miss the pace of life as a credit union CEO and the wonderful relationships that have been built over the course of a long career, she looks forward to spending more time with her husband, daughter and five grandchildren.
Bradley, who joined TNConnect in June 1988, will become the credit union's new president/CEO on Sept. 1, the board said.
Chartered in 1924, TNConnect serves more than 6,500 members.
