2 There is power in Association As the new president and CEO of CUNA, I am pleased and honored to have the opportunity to work with credit unions and the Leagues to serve our 100 million credit union memberships. Your passion and efforts have helped us reach this impressive milestone and continue to drive the success of the movement. Like so many Americans, I am a proud credit union member. I chose my credit union because when it comes to my financial future, I want better choices, significant value and superb member service. Now, it is time for us to make sure all Americans understand that value and know that credit unions are their best choice. With my new opportunity as CUNA s leader, I have been challenged by the CUNA board to provide bold leadership in service to our system vision and enhance the strength of credit unions, Leagues and CUNA. Together, the Leagues and CUNA are your local and national advocate for removing barriers, creating awareness and fostering service excellence. Together, we are making a positive difference for credit unions and their members. Together, with your help, we are achieving our shared vision that Americans choose credit unions as their best financial partner. Jim Nussle President & CEO Credit Union National Association 1
