Cindy Connelly was inducted alongside five other outstanding women in credit union history:
- Linda Bodie, President/CEO, Element Federal Credit Union, South Charleston, West Virginia
- Kathy Chartier, President/CEO, Members Credit Union, Cos Cob, Connecticut
- Kim Sponem, President/CEO, Summit Credit Union, Madison, Wisconsin

“We could not be more thrilled with the second round of inductees to the Herstory exhibit” says ACUM Board Chair Nathan Saller. “We’ve seen that Herstory has had a profound impact across the credit union movement, and these latest inductees reinforce the strength of our shared mission.”
The Museum will hold their annual induction ceremony on Thursday, September 28, 2023, and looks forward to celebrating these powerful women of the movement by adding their stories to continue to inspire and guide the leaders of tomorrow.
