HONOLULU, Hawaii–– The Hawaii Credit Union League has named a new president/CEO. The league has selected Carol Marx to lead the organization, succeeding Dennis Tanimoto, who retired.
Marx has held a series of successive leadership positions in Hawaii’s financial services industry most recently as senior vice president and retail sales manager for the mortgage banking division at Bank of Hawaii. Marx also previously worked at Bank of America (Inter-Island Home Loans, branch manager and joint venture manager), First Hawaiian Bank (VP/mortgage banking department manager) and Pioneer Federal Savings Bank (VP-marketing & public relations, branch manager).
“The credit unions of Hawaii provide their members with excellent services and execute their missions to serve those in their charter, some for over 80 years now,” said Marx. “I will move forward with the Hawaii Credit Union League’s staff and board of directors to continue to support the members of this trade association, representing Hawaii.”
Marx earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and has served on many community leadership positions including president for Hawaii HomeOwnership Center, Mortgage Bankers Association of Hawaii and Soroptimists International of Waikiki Inc.
