This week, Community Financial Credit Union President/CEO Bill Lawton was featured on CUNA’s website for being a credit union hero.

The article highlights Lawton’s background and how he’s grown through the credit union industry, as well as how Community Financial continues to make a lasting impact through initiatives such as student-run credit unions and member outreach.

“Bill’s contribution to the credit union movement over the last 45 years, both here in Michigan and on a national level, has been extraordinary,” said MCUL CEO Dave Adams. “He carries this same passion for uniquely doing good into his personal life.
