Huffman, President and Chief Executive Officer, is retiring. After 25 years of service to
Northwest Georgia Credit Union, Huffman will enter her retirement at Berry College in a newly
created position, Customer Service Manager in the Enrollment Management division of the

people who care passionately about our credit union members,” says Huffman. “It has been my
