FORUM Credit Union Honors Retiring Executive Leader, Jenny Budreau

FORUM Credit Union celebrates the retirement and 40th service anniversary of Jenny Budreau. Jenny’s career at FORUM began in 1984. She joined FORUM after graduating from Ball State University, starting her career as a management trainee. Throughout her 40 years she served in a variety of roles and led multiple teams including Business Development, Retail Delivery, Organizational Development, and Human Resources. Jenny served as FORUM’s Chief Operating Officer from December 2011 through February 2023, and then transitioned to Chief People Officer. In preparation for retirement, she served her last few months at FORUM as Chief Transition Officer.

In honor of Jenny’s significant contributions to FORUM, the FORUM Foundation, and Spirit of FORUM, the Jenny Budreau Commitment to Community Scholarship was unveiled in May. This scholarship will be reserved for one exceptional FORUM Foundation Scholarship applicant who closely exemplifies the qualities of academic excellence and a strong commitment to community service. Beginning in 2025, each year one FORUM Foundation scholarship winner will receive the Jenny Budreau Commitment to Community Scholarship and earn $7,500 per year (renewable for four years for a total of $30,000) toward their educational pursuits.

A paver dedication was held at FORUM headquarters on June 4th for Jenny, bringing together current and past FORUM employees to honor and celebrate Jenny’s 40-year legacy at the Credit Union.

“Jenny had a profound impact on FORUM Credit Union, Spirit of FORUM, the FORUM Foundation, our FORUM teammates, and the communities we serve. It was a privilege to celebrate her and the countless contributions she has made to FORUM and our employees. We know Jenny and her husband, Mark, will thrive in retirement and we are grateful for her 40 years with FORUM,” said Doug True, FORUM CEO.
