AURORA, Colo., The District Credit Union, formerly Aurora Schools FCU, has named a new president and CEO.
The credit union said it has selected Steve Bouras to lead the organization. Bouras previously served as vice president and chief operating officer and succeeds the retiring Brad Johnson.
The credit union said Bouras brings more than 23 years of credit union experience to the CEO position.
“For the past six years, he has played a key role in the credit union's growth. Without losing focus on increasing the institution's asset value, Bouras jump-started the credit union's transformation with an upgrade in technology and a rebranding strategy that increased the credit union's assets from a stagnant $92 million to $150 million, a 63% increase,” the District FCU said.
In addition, the credit union credited Bouras with building a cohesive leadership team that shares a common vision for the future.”
‘Exactly What I’ve Been Working Toward’
"This position is exactly what I've been working toward throughout my career, and I am honored to be given the opportunity to lead the District Credit Union," Bouras said. He added, "Brad Johnson gave me some advice early on to put the work in and good things will follow. Brad's shoes are big ones to fill, and our team and I are here to put in the work that will make even more good things happen."
The credit union added that Bouras is committed to building a strong member community for the District and considers all the credit union's members his "bosses."
"If people are comfortable with their finances, they can focus on other things, their jobs, their families, their communities. It's our job at the District to give our members peace of mind so they can enjoy a stable life,” said Bouras.
