LANSING, Mich. - In a major coup for credit unions, the Office of Financial and Insurance Services, which regulates 225 state chartered credit unions, has named Ken Ross, a former executive with the Michigan league, its new commissioner. Ross, who was VP-regulatory affairs for the league through 2003, will succeed Linda Watters, who resigned last week. Watters will be joining the financial risk-management practice of KPMG LLP, in Chicago. Ross joined OFIS as Watters' chief of staff in 2003, then was named deputy commissioner earlier this year.
