MADISON, WI (August 15, 2016) — Kelly Marshall, CCE, CEO of Summerland Credit Union, Summerland, British Columbia, Canada, has accepted an appointment to serve on the CUES board of directors.
“I’m so pleased Kelly will be joining us,” said Joe Hearn, CCE, chairman, CUES’ board of directors, president/CEO, Dupaco Community Credit Union, Dubuque, Iowa. “He’ll be a real asset not only to the board, but to the CUES’ membership base, as well.”
“Kelly will bring the Canadian point of view to our board. This is extremely important, as Canadian CUES Membership has tripled since January 2014,” said John Pembroke, CUES’ president/CEO. “We are strengthening our commitment to Canada, and expanding our position as an international membership association.”
Marshall will fill the remainder of the term left vacant by Teresa Freeborn, past chair/director of the CUES board, and president/CEO, Xceed Financial CU, El Segundo, Calif.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity. As a graduate of the CUES’ CEO Institute program, and attendee of several CUES’ conferences, I firmly believe that CUES is at the forefront of executive, director and future leader development for North American credit unions,” said Marshall. “Also, I know I have big shoes to fill, as I have always admired Teresa Freeborn and the passion she brings to seeing our organizations flourish and ultimately our credit union systems succeed.”
Marshall has worked in the credit union industry since 1990, when he started his career with Prince Albert Credit Union. He joined Summerland Credit Union in 2006; under his leadership, the credit union earned many honors including being named in the “Top 100 Most Profitable Companies in BC” and “Top Ten Companies to Work for in British Columbia.”
