HONORING THE COMMUNITY SERVICE AND RETIREMENT OF BEVERLY BOLING
______
HON. DIANA HARSHBARGER
of TENNESSEE
in the house of representatives
Monday, September 20, 2021
Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Horizon Credit Union's President/CEO Beverly Boling who has announced her plans to retire this year after 42 years of service to members of the credit union. Her retirement will be effective September 30, 2021.
Boling began her career in 1979 at what was then the Municipal Employees Credit Union, in the basement of the former city hall on Center Street. During her tenure, she has seen the credit union grow from having under $500,000 in assets to $65 million. She was instrumental in the 1999 merger of Kingsport Postal and Federal Credit Union to form First Kingsport Credit Union, which then merged with AGC Credit Union in 2014 to create Horizon Credit Union. Boling also worked to introduce many of the innovations customers now see as common place to Horizon Credit Union, including debit cards and credit union-owned ATMs.
The credit union industry and the local community have also benefited greatly from Boling's desire to help others. She served on the Tennessee Credit Union League Board and in the Upper East Tennessee Chapter of Credit Unions. Currently, she volunteers her time and expertise as Treasurer of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Kingsport and Chairman of the Mount Carmel Block Party.
When Boling started at the credit union, she was the second full-time employee ever. Now, she leaves Horizon Credit Union in the hands of a tenured, capable team of people.
After she retires, Boling will embark on a life of adventure and exploration. Her plans include boarding a catamaran with Mr. Dana, her husband, and sailing to the Caribbean, Fiji and beyond.
