The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) announced the formation of the CUNA CEO Council, the newest addition to the CUNA Councils, at the America's Credit Union Conference.
CUNA said the CUNA CEO Council will seek to unite credit union CEOs from across the country "through a trusted, relevant network designed to facilitate open discussion, problem-solving and cooperation."
"Given its emphasis on the newest trends and the future of the credit union movement, America's Credit Union Conference was the perfect venue to debut the CUNA CEO Council," said Nader Moghaddam, executive committee chair of the CUNA CEO Council and president and CEO of Financial Partners Credit Union, a $1.1-billion institution based in Downey, Calif. "Attendees were among the first to join together onsite to participate in a dialogue on issues that are front and center for credit union CEOs."
Todd Spiczenski, CUNA's chief products and services officer, explained that the new Council is an "exciting opportunity" for credit union CEOs to build a "dedicated community for their specific needs and interests," adding that the council will serve as an "exclusive environment for candid conversations, collaboration and sharing of insights and experience."
The CUNA CEO Council is the seventh of the interdisciplinary executive groups that CUNA has put together, including: CUNA Technology Council, CUNA CFO Council, CUNA Lending Council, CUNA Human Resources/Training and Development (HR/TD) Council, CUNA Marketing and Business Development Council and the CUNA Operations, Sales and Service (OpSS) Council.
