PLYMOUTH, Mich.--CFCU president and CEO Tansley Stearns has been elected to the Michigan Credit Union Foundation’s (MCUF) board of directors.
As a member of the board, Stearns will guide the foundation in offering support to Michigan credit unions and their members through enrichment grants, financial education, counseling and leadership development.
"Credit unions create meaningful impact through collaboration. At CFCU, we are committed to helping Michiganders achieve their impossible dreams and as a unified Michigan credit union community the possibilities to change human lives are endless,” said Stearns. “I’m honored to serve on the foundation’s board and excited to dream boldly about what’s next at an industry leadership level.”
In 2022, Stearns joined CFCU as president and CEO, bringing decades of leadership with credit unions nationally to her role. Since coming aboard, Stearns has implemented bold and transformational programming that fosters a sense of financial belonging among its members, including an obstacle-free Path to Homeownership program and debit card art collaborations with local artists. Last month, Stearns led the organization in launching an updated brand identity that reflects the organization’s role as protector of its members and its commitment to the community it serves.
