MADISON, Wis.– The CUES board has named Dawn Poker, SVP/chief sales & member relations officer, as its interim CEO. Poker will step in to fill a position vacated by the resignation of CUES’ President/CEO Chuck Fagan, who is leaving to take over as CEO at PSCU.
“We selected Dawn to take on this responsibility because of her deep institutional knowledge of CUES, her broad range of contacts within the credit union movement, and her amazing dedication to this organization. We have faith that Dawn and our senior management staff will form a strong transitional team so that CUES doesn't miss a beat,” said CUES Board Chair Caroline Willard, who is executive vice president, markets and strategy with CO-OP Financial Services in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
“I’m excited for this opportunity to work closely with the board of directors, the CUES team and our partners during this transition to ensure we continue our momentum of remaining the industry’s vital source for talent development,” said Poker in a statement.
Willard also announced the executive recruitment firm JMFA has already started the search for a permanent replacement for Fagan.
