COLUMBIA, Md. – The Maryland and DC CU Association has hired John Bratsakis, senior vice president at $1.5 billion Baxter CU in Illinois, as its president and CEO.
Bratksakis, who serves in on CUNA’s Governmental Affairs Committee, will fill the role vacated last year when Mike Beall left to head the Missouri CU League.
Bratsakis has also served on the boards of the Illinois league and its service corporation. From 1997-2007, Bratsakis was CEO of Community Trust CU in Gurnee, Ill.
The Maryland/D.C. league had discussed merging with the New Jersey league but dropped that pursuit.
