GALENA PARK, Texas – Thomas McCullough, a retired educator who was there at the onset of United Community CU, announced his retirement after 40 years on the board.
The credit union, originally called Galena Park School FCU, has grown from just $500,000 at its 1969 beginning to more than $72 million.
McCullough, presently chairman of the board, had some parting words of advise, "Please remember that the credit union belongs to the people. That’s what the business is all about," he said. "We’re not for profit, we’re for service and anytime we forget that we will forget what the credit union movement is all about."
