CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.–After 22 years leading the organization as president/CEO, Allison DeTuncq has announced plans to retire from University of Virginia Community Credit Union in May 2022. The credit union said it has begun a search for a successor.
DeTuncq began her career at the credit union 32 years ago, and during her tenure as CEO has overseen asset growth to $1.3-billion from $130 million, according to Virginia Business.
According to Virginia Business, DeTuncq oversaw three charter expansions that increased membership to 20 counties and five cities, as well as increasing the number of branch offices to 18, and was also behind the credit union’s award-winning financial literacy program that expanded to other Virginia credit unions.
The credit union employs 250 people and has a membership of approximately 70,000.
‘Great Honor’
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as the credit union’s chief executive officer and to be a part of the credit union movement,” DeTuncq said in a statement. “I am most thankful to the great team I had the privilege to work with for so many years, from the dedicated volunteer board of directors and committee members, to the incredible staff who have been so committed to the success of our credit union.”
DeTuncq, who has served in several capacities with the Virginia Credit Union League and won its Eugene H. Farley Jr. Award of Excellence, is also president and CEO of the U.Va. Community Credit Union’s mortgage business, Member Options LLC, and serves on its board. She also was the first board chairman of VIZO Financial Corporate Credit Union after it was formed in a merger, the credit union said.
