Fred Robinson was working nights and weekends at a local department store in 1983 when a friend called about a job opening in the mailroom at the Tennessee Credit Union League.
“He told me you didn’t have to work nights or weekends, so I jumped at the chance,” Robinson recalled.
After working most every job at the trade association over the past 29 years, Robinson was named president of the league last month. He succeeds Tom Gaines, who is retiring at the end of the year after heading the league for more than 24 years.
“Fred has been a long-time employee of the league and I’m sure he will do a great job,” Gaines said.
