WASHINGTON—In the event the merger between CUNA and NAFCU is approved by the groups’ respective member CUs, 11 new groups have been created to guide the merger process.
The groups were announced by CUNA CEO Jim Nussle, who will lead the new group, America’s Credit Unions, should the merger get the OK. As CUToday.info reported earlier, NAFCU COO Anthony Demangone and CUNA COO Jill Tomalin will co-lead the Transformation Steering Group.
“These teams will oversee specific workstreams to ensure the best of both organizations’ products, services, events, processes, and cultures are reflected in the transformation process,” Nussle said in a statement. “Following a disciplined management process to ensure success, team members will not only work together, but hold each other accountable while remaining focused on you, your needs, and your desire to see a brand-new organization – not a CUNA 2.0 or NAFCU 2.0.”
