Texas Governor Greg Abbott appointed Texas Trust Credit Union CEO Jim Minge Chairman of the Texas Credit Union Commission. Minge will serve in this capacity until December 31, 2023.
Minge, who is serving in a six-year term on the commission, will lead the nine-member panel that oversees the Texas Credit Union Department. The commission’s role is to ensure that the state’s 175 chartered credit unions function as a system. The governor-appointed board works closely with the Commissioner of the Texas Credit Union Department, who oversees daily operations of the agency. Texas’ state chartered credit unions have more than $56 billion in combined assets and 4.1 million members.
“I am honored to have been selected by Governor Abbott to serve in this important leadership role,” Minge said. “Our role as a commission is to help credit unions take good care of Texans. I hope as chairman I can help provide the right environment where credit unions can work together to strengthen the industry and improve the financial well-being of all our members.”
