Long-serving Staff Retire from the Penny Post Group

Friday 26 January 2024

At the end of March, the Penny Post Group said farewell to John Macdonald, who retired after a long association with Voyager Alliance and the wider credit union movement. John joined the Voyager Alliance Board in 2006, and was a Director for 10 years, including a stint as President/Chairman.

Passionate about credit unions and the unique way they help members improve financial resilience, John was keen to be involved in the wider credit union movement and served on the ABCUL Board for 3 years.

Former Voyager Alliance President, and current Penny Post Group Director, Gary Robertson, has many happy memories of working with John over the years, including a learning visit to Georgia Unite Credit Union in Atlanta.

“We attended their AGM and Event Day, and were inspired by the enthusiasm of everyone involved, from the Cheerleaders chanting the credit union motto … ‘What do we do… serve, what do we do… serve’ to the passion and leadership skills of the CEO, Deborah, who personally knew every member of her Team and their family”, remembers Gary. “Undoubtedly, John has been a good servant to Voyager Alliance over the years and fundamental for its growth and success
