A national search for a new executive director of the National Credit Union Foundation – with an emphasis on candidates possessing particular experience and stature within the credit union movement – is officially underway.

The Foundation's board of directors, at a recent meeting, appointed a search committee to consider candidates. According to Foundation Board Chairman Allan K. McMorris, president and CEO of Oakland County CU in Waterford, Mich., the board aims to hire an executive director this spring.

Named chairman of the search committee is Gary J. Oakland, president and CEO of BECU in Tukwila, Wash.

The search is to find a replacement for Steve Delfin, who resigned from the Foundation late last year to take a position at another organization.

Oakland said among the key requirements for the Foundation leader is that he or she enjoys a deep background in credit unions and is recognized as a leader in the movement. “Since this individual will be working with credit unions to solicit and maintain their support for the Foundation, we hope that included in his or her career profile will be a deep understanding of credit unions, as well as a strong network of contacts among them,” Oakland said.

Oakland added that candidates for the position should send resumes to resumes@NCUF.coop or, in writing to NCUF, 5710 Mineral Point Road, Madison WI, 53705 attention: Human Resources (HR); no resumes or other information from candidates should be sent directly to NCUF Board or search committee members.
