MCUF Welcomes New Board Leadership
Michigan Credit Union Foundation (MCUF)’s board members help lead Michigan Credit Union League’s philanthropic arm and guide MCUF in its mission of empowering credit unions to increase financial well-being in Michigan.
MCUF initiatives help Michigan families, businesses and communities across the state feel the credit union difference. These include community enrichment support, financial education and counseling programs, and credit union young professional support.
Five board seats were up for election this year, and on June 26, two new board members were elected and three current board members were re-elected to new terms.
“We were very impressed at the amount of interest in MCUF board leadership,” said MCUF Executive Director Andrea Tucker.
This year, 15 passionate, committed and thoughtful candidates submitted self-nominations for the MCUF Board of Directors.
