It’s hard to get the last word in with Jim, so now’s your chance!
Please leave a message here (form at the bottom). Maybe a note of congratulations. Maybe a funny story that the world needs to hear. Maybe some retirement advice!
A tribute or a roast, short or long, the floor is yours!
Thank you everyone for visiting and leaving a message for Jim!
When I want to call Jim, I don’t search for his name because his contact is under the word “favorite.”. From the wedding, to Iowa for campaign, to chauffeur-ing during my election, Christmas fun, to loving and “uncle-ing my kids, he does it all with love and grace. Congratulations to winning life’s race and good times ahead. I am sure one day you will hear the words, well done my faithful servant.
Congrats Jim!
This Wyoming girl never expected to join an Iowa team. So glad I did! I consider my Nussle years to be one of my career highlights. We had a great leader! Congratulations on your retirement, Jim!
Congratulations uncle Jim!!! You are an inspiration to me and all of us. Thank you for all of the advice, encouragement and laughs over the years. And the whiskey! Pour another one for me today, you deserve it!
I will always remember first meeting Jim just after he started with CUNA. I was with Filene Research Institute and we had an opportunity to hear from Jim as a group. I – we all – were blown away with his energy, passion, presence, and vision. When he tapped me on the shoulder to join his team, I was not only humbled but over-the-moon excited by the possibilities! (He was impossible to say no to.) To this day, Jim is one of the best leaders for whom I have worked and, to this day, I miss intellectualizing things like politics, the future of the credit union industry, and leadership with him. Our industry will shine a little less bright without Jim and Karen. It was an honor and pleasure to be in your orbit.
I don’t even know where to begin. You have had an immense impact on not just my professional life, but my personal life. I’m so grateful for the chances I was given by Nussle World. From Rich hiring me to you choosing me to be your executive assistant to me becoming an honorary member of the Nussle family and everything that’s occurred over the year since. We had something special and just clicked from Day 1! My dad told me it wasn’t luck because we make our own luck, and some things are just meant to be. Thank you for your guidance, toughness, high expectations, humility (on occasion, lol!), service to our country, laughing with me, letting me laugh at you, believing in me, and a friendship that continues to this day. Happy Retirement Jim Nussle! If anyone deserves a happy one, it’s you. Love, Barbra/Barbra Snitker/Barbra J/BJS/BeeJeeSus, Snotty, etc. etc.
Jim, Gratulerer Med Pensjonisttilvaerelsen! Retirement? Already? It’s about time! From our college days as roommates (do you still snore?) to me standing beside you as you married your best friend, Karen, it’s been a wild ride-though nothing quite compares to watching you juggle life as an attorney, congressman, cabinet member, and CEO like it was a weekend hobby. You’ve crushed it in every role, and now you get to trade boardrooms for golf carts and campaign trails for travel itineraries. I’m thrilled for you! Just promise me you won’t start taking retirement too seriously. Let’s tee up some new adventures soon.
For a job that started while I was finishing college, who would have thought that it would have lasted 12 years?! What a wild & remarkable ride. I loved our Manchester crew, quite a motley bunch (Cheryl, Anne, Toni & Joe). During my tenure, I graduated college, worked on the campaign, moved to the congressional side, moved back to campaign, got married, more congressional work, managed a congressional campaign, had a baby, back to congressional work, had another baby… the list goes on. One of my favorite memories was campaigning & bringing Newt Gingrich in for an event. We were calling people to attend and I remember saying “Newt?” you mean like a frog?😅 I also remember bringing George W Bush in to Amana for an event. I tussled with Karl Rove about campaign sign placement. The best lesson I learned from all our work, you belong anywhere you have the courage to take up space. Congratulations on an amazing career, Jim. Thank you for taking the chance on a very young, very green kid. It was an amazing first job, even the driving back & forth to the airport. 😉
Jim, congrats on your retirement after such a full and successful career. You have done us all proud since your days at Luther. Now go forward looking to the new hills to climb in retirement hopefully focused on things that matter most – family, friends, hobbies (yeah, a little golf is always good), travel, etc.
From the start, you showed me what real leadership looks like. You led with laughter, kindness, and a deep sense of responsibility. You didn’t put up with any nonsense, and you never surrounded yourself with “yes women.” You challenged me, kept me honest, and treated every one like family.The work ethic you instilled in me has stayed with me ever since. I am better for having worked alongside you, and grateful for every lesson, every laugh, and every late night that came with the privilege of being part of your team.Thank you for everything you’ve given me, for the example you set, and for leading with heart. Wishing you nothing but happiness, good health, and the time to write a hit song the Eagles will record. Here’s to the next chapter…Best, Brucie!
Jim, you were one of the best bosses I ever had! I advised that we not show up at the protest outside your Davenport office of Rock Island Arsenal employees who were upset at proposed DOD employment changes. You looked at me and said, “Jason, you always get points for showing up.” And show up we did -you ended up in the bed of a pickup truck and led the group in singing happy birthday to Congressman Lane Evans! When we were working our tails off to keep Coach K from being deported, you called me on a Friday afternoon and asked me what I needed, and I said I need someone within Homeland Security who can assure us he won’t be deported over the weekend before his hearing in front of an Immigration Law Judge that was scheduled for the following Monday. 45 minutes later I was on the phone with two DHS officials including one of Tom Ridge’s key aide. Coach K had his hearing and was granted relief and put on a path to residency. You always challenged the hell out of me, but always gave me the resources and support I needed to be successful on Team Nussle’s behalf. For that, I will always be eternally grateful. Congrats on a career that impacted countless lives for the better!
Jim. Congratulations! I learned so much from your leadership at OMB. In addition to the policy and comms insights, I deeply appreciated how you approached challenges with good humor and grace. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter.
Yours in Strategery,
Christin
This makes me sound really old in saying this (although, you are still older than me ☺), but it was almost 40 years ago that I started working with you in the Delaware County Attorney’s Office! Wow. You definitely served that office well those four years. You seemed to have a way of making the work life fun – which also led to creating friendships within the courthouse. These friendships then led to the creation of our killer Court Jesters volleyball team, and taking that team on “retreats” to your lake house! We had some great times. I wonder how that team would do now out on the volleyball court. ☺ Then came the years of working in your Congressional office. That was definitely a great experience in so many ways for this country girl. Heck, I had never traveled on an airplane prior to this job! Once again, some great friendships were formed, and awesome life experiences had, during this time for which I will be forever grateful. Speaking of grateful, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a boss who will keep an employee on staff after that employee totals out the boss’ vehicle while driving it to the airport – for that I am also grateful. ☺ Enjoy this next chapter of your life, Jim. Trust me – it’s pretty awesome.
Congratulations on your retirement! I cannot overstate the profound impact you have had in my life. In February of 1999 you signed off on hiring a hog farmer from Delaware County for your Congressional staff, despite the fact he had worked off the farm only a few days of his life. I will be forever grateful to you for that decision because for the next eight years I had amazing experiences and established friendships that will last a lifetime. I will always remember my second interview, in which you participated. As I was leaving your office following the interview I turned to you and commented that if the only reason I received the interviews was because I was a hog farmer from your home county and hog prices were at historic lows, I completely understood and still appreciated the opportunity because it was an honor to meet you. Your response was something to the effect of, “That’s not the way I do things.” I started in the Congressional office a short time later and for the next eight years you led the Nussle team with honor and integrity. I was made to feel like a valued member of the staff from day one, which speaks to the high quality of the rest of the team as well as the example you set for us. I enjoyed and appreciated our conversations in the car between events, you always treated me with respect and I always felt my opinion was valued by you. Countless times since 2007 I have told people that Congress was diminished without you representing Iowans, and that if there were 535 Jim Nussles in Congress our country would not be facing the issues it currently faces. Thank you for your service to Iowa and our nation, thank you for your leadership, but especially from the bottom of my heart thank you for the opportunity you gave me to be part of the Nussle team. Enjoy your retirement!
From Chairing the Budget Committee to serving as the Director of OMB to devoting countless hours of volunteer leadership to Special Olympics, you have born the weight of the nation’s challenges with humility, integrity and a healthy dose of humor. We will always remember the day you stood on the house floor, a paper bag over your head, calling on your fellow Members to do the right thing.
Elected office is not for the faint of heart and you and Karen are beautiful examples of what public service was meant to be.
Tony and I are hopeful that this next curve will allow us to have more time with you both. It may not be delivering lawn signs (or buying that El Camino we have always wanted) but we are up for any and all adventures.
Congratulations on a truly remarkable and impactful career!
Cindi and Tony
Jim, Thanks for your service to the people of Iowa. So many good memories of our friends Curt and Norma Hames. They loved you and always appreciated your great demeanor. As you move into retirement, I hope you have a lot of fond memories of the “ole” campaign trail. Ron Corbett AKA Mr Speaker.
Congratulations on your Retirement! Many years fighting many battles.
And now that you’re entering your Golden Years, I have another Membership Organization you may want to join.
It’s a small non-profit called AARP — they fight for the Health & Financial Security of Americans 50+ — which we all know you well meet those minimal requirements 🙂
Godspeed on the next chapters of life — many great adventures lie ahead.
Jim, congratulations on your retirement and an incredible career. You took a real chance bringing me in as the rare non-Iowan into the Nussle world and helped show me what service to constituents really meant, and then to keep the ball rolling with not only The Nussle Group but with the founding of Growth Energy. You’ve helped shape my career along with countless others. Numerous great memories and laughs along the way. Congratulations and best wishes to you and Karen on the next adventure!
Congratulations, Jim!
I just wanted to take a moment to say congratulations on your retirement and to let you know how much I’ve always appreciated the opportunity you gave me early in my career. I still remember meeting you in high school and allowing me to interview you for our school paper. That ignited a political spark in me! Working in your Congressional Office in Manchester and helping on your re-election campaign were truly formative experiences for this small-town girl. Thank you for taking a chance on young Amy all those years ago, and for surrounding yourself with a great team (WOW – I still look back and wonder how did I get so lucky to be a part of your team??!)
I’m grateful for the example of leadership and integrity you set and wish you continued success in all that’s ahead. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter!
Congratulations Jim on your retirement and an incredible career! You took a real chance on me as the rare non-Iowan in the Congressional office, and you showed me and everyone what true service to constituents really means. Thank you for giving me a fantastic opportunity and to keep it rolling in The Nussle Group days and then onto the founding of Growth Energy. Many great memories and laughs along the way. Best wishes on your retirement and to you and Karen on the next adventure!
Jim, I was looking for a picture and was surprised that I didn’t have very many though we consider you and Karen to be some of our closest friends. Between celebrating many Little Christmas Eves, BBQs by the pool, Kentucky Derby parties, birthdays, two-day old chili, abelskiver eating contests with Eileen, Karen’s famous crab cakes, Liam’s debut trumpet performance at your house, music concerts, baseball games and all the times we have spent together have meant so much to the McHannah family.
Congratulations on an amazing run! Every where you go you seem to leave it better than when you started and with such heart, humor and integrity. I am so grateful for the friendship you and Karen have shared with us over the years (and especially for marrying Karen my friend, mentor and most-valued advisor…she is simply amazing!) Wishing you both joy and adventure in this next chapter. Much Love, Gordon, Ellen, Liam and Eileen
Jim – it was almost the last play of the game for me when you agreed to meet with me and my competitors on the same day in March 2003. My competitors had taken a few of my clients. They implied if you wanted money from certain donors you had to sign up with them. They were older and had better pedigrees. And I was tired working 100+ hours a week and no paycheck for 3 years. In short, I wasn’t who you’d put your money on that day. I wrote a 26 page finance plan and went through it with you, Karen and Nick page by page that morning. You said you didn’t have any questions, but then you asked if you could take a copy of that plan (which I’d spent 36 straight hours preparing) with you. And I said yes. I realized as I walked out that day you were about to meet with the other two fundraisers, with my plan in hand. You could have easily said “here’s a plan, do this.” But you asked them “where’s your plan” and they didn’t have one. I was told later you assumed anyone who would give you that plan with such confidence (clearly faked) must believe no one else could have done that work for you, so the plan itself didn’t matter. Being your fundraiser changed my entire business and my life. Thank you for energizing this Iowan’s future!
Jim – Your journey has been nothing short of remarkable, from the County Court House to the White House you have served with passion, integrity and a deep commitment to making a difference. Your political career has left a legacy of leadership and positive change that will be remembered for years to come. Beyond public service, it’s the personal moments that shine just as brightly. The laughter over dinners, late night strategy talks, the spontaneous road trips, weekends at the lake house, and the countless memories we have made together – those are the treasures we will always hold close. You have shown us how to lead with heart and live with joy.
As you step into this new chapter, may it be filled with peace, adventure, and plenty of time for the things and people you love most. We hope retirement brings you the same fulfillment and fun that you have brought to all of us.
Here is to the next great adventure and cheers to the memories we have shared and the ones still to come!
With admiration and affection,
Marie and Mark
Jim, congratulations on your retirement and long, distinguished career! You’ve been a great public servant – serving and leading with honor and dignity and I am proud to have worked for you. Thank you for the example you set as a statesman and a good guy in DC. I am eternally grateful to you and Rich for giving me my first job on the Hill. I very much appreciated that you never gave me that litmus test and sided with me on some squishy approps votes. You were a tough boss in the best way, challenging me to see all aspects of an issue/vote. Thank you for setting me on a very rewarding career path. Thanks also for hiring the fun crew of people I got to work with. I have great memories, lots of laughs and friendships to last a lifetime because of your office. And nearly 30 years later, I have grown to appreciate quiet hour.
I wish you and Karen all the best in your next chapters of life! Thank you for all you have done for Iowans, your staff and the country. Congratulations!
Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement. It’s hard to believe how many years have passed since a kid from Strawberry Point first looked down the road to Manchester and saw someone who seemed to embody everything he wanted to be: young, principled, and ready to make a difference.
When you first ran for Congress, I didn’t know you personally, but I admired you greatly. A few years later, when I nervously asked for your nomination to serve as a Page in the U.S. House, you took a chance on me. That one opportunity changed everything — it opened the door for a 16-year-old from small-town Iowa to a path I could have never imagined. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago now!
Later, you took another chance on me in college and gave me my first real taste of politics. Working for you, and watching you lead, taught me lessons that have shaped every step of my career since. You showed me that good leadership doesn’t mean being the loudest voice in the room; it means being principled, steady, and sincere (and occasionally having a sense of humor when things don’t go as planned).
You also surrounded yourself with so many good people, and I was fortunate to work alongside and learn from them as well. Those experiences have stayed with me all these years and continue to shape how I approach leadership and decision-making.
I’ve also never forgotten how supportive you were when I decided to continue my education and pursue a law degree. That kind of encouragement wasn’t something every employer offered at the time, and I’ve always appreciated it deeply. Of course, it probably didn’t hurt that I went to the best law school in Iowa — Drake University School of Law — just like you. (Is there even another law school in Iowa?)
Though it’s been many years since we worked together, I’ve followed your career with great admiration — from Congress to your work beyond public office — and it’s been inspiring to see how you’ve continued to lead, evolve, and make an impact. You’ve earned every bit of this next chapter.
Thank you for the opportunities, the example, and the confidence you gave a kid who just wanted to follow in your footsteps. Wishing you all the best in this next adventure — you’ve more than earned the time to enjoy it.
Congratulations on a well deserved retirement!
Thank you for allowing me to work for you and the campaign, so many great memories as we zig zagged across the state. One that still makes me laugh is the time you got locked in the bathroom during a campaign stop (while mic’ed up for a video) and you had to call me to get you out.
I’m so grateful for your service to our state and country. Best of luck in the future and enjoy this next phase of your life!
Jim,
Congratulations on your retirement and an amazing career! It’s hard to believe how much time has passed since those OMB days. Working under your leadership was one of the most defining and memorable experiences of my career… equal parts caffeine, policy, and organized chaos.
You had that rare combination of high expectations, sharp policy instincts, and genuine care for the people around you, and that left a lasting mark on all of us. I still think back to the energy and pace of those days, the late nights, the policy debates, and the feeling that what we were doing truly mattered. You somehow managed to juggle ten priorities at once, keep us focused, and still crack a joke that lightened the room.
You showed us what public service could look like at its best, and always kept it fun and intersting. It was a privilege to be part of your team at OMB and to learn what it meant to “get it done” with integrity and a sense of humor.
Wishing you a well-earned retirement filled with more peace, fewer policy memos, and plenty of good stories!
Congrats and all the best!
They call him the best OMB Director there ever was. They do! Still! They wouldn’t get an argument from me. Kind, fun, funny, generous, smart, principled . . . Jim is all of these. But he also brings out the best in others. I am so grateful for the trust you put in me, Jim. It was the honor of a lifetime to work for you at OMB — until then you were just a paper bag with a couple of holes in it. The real bonus was that you brought two gems into my life, too: Karen and Barbra. God, I miss our strategic planning meetings.
Congratulations on your retirement, boss. You deserve whatever stupendous send off is planned for you and more. All my love and respect, always.
Congratulations Jim on your retirement and an incredible career! Wishing you and Karen many blessings in your next adventure and chapter of your lives.
Jim
We could not be happier for you and Karen as you begin a much deserved retirement. The last several years of retirement provided us with so many blessings that have included more quality family and friend time , travel, and more! Our wish for you is the same blessings. Many years ago in Manchester we got to know you through the volunteer fire department and other community activities that resulted in a fun group of friends we hung out with socially. And of course we followed and supported your political career. Perhaps one of our best memories was your honeymoon to Tahiti, when you and Karen included us, Oddens and Wergers on that awesome trip.
Congratulations on your successful career
Hugs
Jane and Rusty Jones
Jim –
Congrats on a well deserved retirement. And thank you for your service to our state and beloved country.
You and Karen welcomed me and many other new faces to the campaign team in 06. And I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to help you and our state. You lead with courage (who remembers gas station slot machines?!?) and provided Iowa with a wonderful vision for the future.
Some of the campaign stories are better told over a good drink than on an online forum. But I want to say thank you for the opportunity to serve. You taught us all so much and enabled us to build lifelong friendships that we all cherish to this day.
Enjoy the next – hopefully much more relaxing – phase!
Jim, congratulations on your upcoming retirement! It was an honor to have served with you for all too brief a time at OMB.
Year 8 of a presidency, with the opposition controlling Congress and a global financial crisis unfolding, was a difficult time for advocates of limited government and balanced budgets. But your principled, down-to-earth leadership helped us make the best of the challenges and opportunities we faced.
I’ll never forget the apoplexy and disbelief when you decided that producing thousands of new doorstops every year (that stack of shrink-wrapped paper sometimes called the President’s Budget) was a waste of taxpayer money and trees. You were always at your best questioning the insanity that others took for granted.
Best of luck to you and Karen with your next chapter!
Jim, great to hear about your retirement and I hope you and Karen can have some relaxation time. You gave me a chance to work for my home congressional district and constituents and it was such a rewarding five years to serve great Iowans. You were the best boss of my career and I learned so much from you. Congress could use more leaders like you. Congratulations!
God once told me, “only the best and most gifted are born on June 27th.”
I’m sure He was talking about you and not someone else…
But since we DO share that day, does this mean this is also my retirement party?
Thankful for how you model hospitality and generosity! I’ll never forget my first home 🙂
Though there are many, here are a few things I’ve noticed and love about you, Jim!
– life is better when it’s fun — you model this!
– you are a “there you are!” person, rather than a “here I am!” person. It’s noticeable and refreshing!
– you are hospitable and generous. Everyone always feels welcome, celebrated, and cared for when they are with you (and we feel well-fed!)
– a man with an apron on is still a man 😂 just a man who knows style and how to cook!! I wear an apron often now!!!
I’m sure you’ve been just as good of an employee, employer, and peer as you are uncle. People are lucky to know you. Congrats on retirement!
I enjoyed working with you for many years, serving the people of Iowa. I hope you enjoy your retirement!
Congratulations Jim on both a long and successful career, and to a next chapter that, based on personal experience, I think you will love. My most distinct memories go back to 1990 and printing dozens and dozens of the green and white Nussle for Congress signs with Jeff M and putting them up (and taking them down) around eastern Iowa. I still remember your first election night victory at the Longbranch in CR waiting and waiting for the results and a hard fought and well deserved win. Enjoy your time on the lake!
Jim, my interest in government and politics dates back to Tom’s 2nd District re-election campaigns in 1980 and then when you and I worked together in 1982. We did all the menial campaign tasks, like dropping off yard signs, making phone calls, and going to parades, ice cream socials, church picnics, and other events around the district. I have two memories of that job I like to tell people just to get their reaction, like when they hear people actually used to smoke on airplanes (“Whaaaaat”?). One, of course, are the yellow headbands with a red feather we’d hand out to little kids at every event, which was very popular and now incredibly politically incorrect. I don’t have a photo of either of us wearing that campaign swag, fortunately, but I’ll post a pic of kids not from the 2nd District sporting their “Tauke for Congress” headbands with Beth.
The other thing that seems even more remarkable four decades later is how we’d get the children of supporters to help us with “Tauke Walking”, the clever term for old-fashioned door knocking throughout the district. I painfully remember making calls a couple of times a week to round up 9-15 year old kids to campaign with us, which the parents were fine with because we gave their kids something to do outside the house. A couple of times a week, we’d pick up 3 or 4 kids and drive them to some small town in Eastern Iowa, most of which we’d never been to before. We’d stop in a central location, give the kids copies of the town map with their route highlighted, and send each on their way to knock on doors and hand out brochures. We drove around to keep track of the kids, making sure they didn’t get lost or just dump the brochures in a garbage can. Then we’d pick them up an hour or so later to move on to the next town or get something to eat. Calling and dragging a group of kids out a few times a week was challenging enough – can you imagine today dropping off a bunch of pre-teens in a strange town and having them knock on doors by themselves? But the real uncomfortable and painful memory is thinking about how as the summer went on, more and more kids got tired of Tauke Walking and how tough it became to get kids to volunteer. By late August, there would be times when I could only get one to help, so me in my early 20’s old would pick up one young volunteer – often a girl – to go Tauke Walking with me for the day. Even as I write this, I cringe at how that was considered okay by everyone back then.
You, Steve, and I were unusual for being political nerds at a time when most college kids where not very engaged, but I knew you and Steve were different as you loved to talk politics and issues endlessly. So I wasn’t surprised to hear how you had turned your passion for politics and service into a long and distinguished career. After following your public life from afar, I was thrilled when we reunited through our unlikely connection to credit unions in 2014. I’ll always remember travelling to Washington for the CUNA orientation after I was named the Illinois League President and meeting you in your office on Pennsylvania Avenue, where we both had a “how did we ever get here?” moment. It’s a small world, indeed. Congratulations on a wonderful career and I wish you and Karen all the best in your next adventures.
Congratulations Uncle Jim!!! I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving of what’s to come. Your life and career up to this point has been nothing short of awe inspiring. From the laughs you create around the table at holidays to seeing you killing it on CSPAN, you are such a role model to me and so many others. I hope you feel the love today and all the rest! Love you <3
Jim,
Congratulations! Your career is one many would dream of and you remained steadfast in doing the right thing no matter who your constituent was – from Iowans to the nation – to credit unions.
I gained many valuable skills from your leadership – understand the full context and perspective of others, honesty with your staff no matter how difficult or silly the occasion, be the voice for those who are often overlooked.
Enjoy your time and keep sharing your gifts with those around you.
Gary also says congratulations and thank you!
Congratulations! You’re a Star!
– Mr. Osko
Jim,
Congratulations and welcome to your next chapter! I don’t even know where to begin to say how grateful I am to have been included in your circle and to be a part of your truly distinguished career. Too many memories to list. Thank you for taking a Wartburg kid along for the ride! Enjoy your retirement! May it be full of birdies, big fish stories (that are actually true), great tunes, memories made, and some much-deserved relaxation. Go Knights!
Jim, it’s hard to capture in words the impact you’ve had over the past 11 years…not just on our credit union movement, but on me personally. Your strategic vision, fierce competitiveness, and knack for bringing fun to serious work have made working alongside you a true pleasure, and I’ve learned so much from you along the way.
Karen, thank you for sharing Jim with all of us—and Jim, thank you for sharing Karen with us!
Wishing you every happiness in retirement!
Congratulations, Jim!

Congrats, Jim!! Lots of fun, laughable memories of taking you and Barbra to the airport, listening to the political “discussions”.
Wishing you and yours a very happy retirement!
Congratulations, Uncle Jim!
I hope your retirement is amazing. It’s well-deserved considering all you’ve accomplished. Just don’t get too carried away with practicing your golf game, please. It’s already hard enough to compete at the Danebod Open! I actually think you should use your free time for anything other than practice. I’m sure there’s MUCH more for you to do with all the new free time!
Congrats on retirement uncle Jim!!! You’ve had an amazing career. I hope you’re able to enjoy some awesome, relaxing, well-deserved time at the Lake for many years to come!!
Jim – it was a blast to work with such a dynamic leader! You were game for anything! From singing onstage to welcome President Bush to wearing a GoPro, I loved all of it, and more importantly, so did credit unions. Thank you for being the champion we needed. Best wishes for a wonderful retirement.
HI Big Brother! So proud of you at every step and advancement in your career and life! Lots of love to you!
