“For more than four decades, Carolyn has led with purpose, integrity, and a deep commitment to people,” said Neighborhood Credit Union CEO and President, Chet Kimmell. “Her nomination to the AACUC Hall of Fame is a powerful reflection of her lifelong dedication to advancing inclusive financial services and developing future leaders within the credit union movement.”

A respected industry leader, Jordan is a former Chair of the America’s Credit Unions Operations Council and a past member of the Dallas Federal Reserve’s Consumer Advisory Council.
Throughout her 46-year career, Jordan has been widely recognized for her leadership and impact, including honors as a Dallas Business Journal C-Suite Leader and Woman in Technology. She holds a Master of Science in Business Analytics from Texas A&M University–Commerce and a marketing certification from Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business. Her work continues to shape member-centered innovation, strengthen advocacy efforts, and expand access to financial capital for underserved communities.
The AACUC will formally induct the 2026 Hall of Fame honorees during its Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony held in conjunction with the Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C. on March 3, 2026, at the Hamilton Hotel.
