Frank Branca was recognized as 2015 CUES Distinguished Director at CUES’ Directors Conference, today at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, Walt Disney World^® Resort, Fla.

“This is quite an honor. It was a very big surprise to me,” said Branca, who accepts his award in the photo at right from the 2014 CUES Distinguished Director Howard Williams, CCD (left), and CUES President/CEO John Pembroke (right). “When I retired from Digital Equipment Corporation after seeing it grow from 1,000 to 135,000 employees, I felt I had had many opportunities and experiences along the way and wanted to do something to give back. I wanted to make sure I was a good fit for the board I would join and that the organization was a good fit for me. The DCU board was a good fit for me because we all bring different perspectives to the table, but we speak with one voice once we make a decision.

“What kept me involved all these years is the quality and caliber of the DCU board and management. We’re very fortunate in having a management team that was able to execute our plans expertly.

“For all of that I’ve been very grateful that I became part of the credit union. This award is very important to me. I thank CUES. I thank the board and the management team for being very supportive of all of us.”
