Kitsap Credit Union welcomes Lucy Lu to Supervisory Committee
BREMERTON, WASH. (July 12, 2023) — Kitsap Credit Union ($2.3B, Bremerton, WA) recently welcomed Lucy Lu, CPA, MBA, as its new Supervisory Committee Member. She was recently elected after a search by DDJ Myers, the well-known leadership development firm that is now an ALM First Company.
Lucy has diversified experience across both not-for-profit organizations and for-profit publicly traded companies in finance, accounting, auditing, taxation and board presentations across a nearly 20-year career. She currently serves as the Controller for the Washington Education Association.
“I am excited to join the committee and expand my knowledge in financial services, especially in credit unions. I believe in Kitsap Credit Union’s cooperative philosophy and mission. I look forward to using my expertise in Internal Audit, Risk Management, Finance and Accounting, and more to further assist the credit union in its committment to its members and community,” says Lucy. “I became interested in this opportunity because of Leah Gazaway at DDJ Myers. Her expertise, professionalism and understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the Supervisory Committee member piqued my interest and showed me how my experience could add value to Kitsap Credit Union and its members.”
Prior to her work with the WEA, Lucy was the CFO for the Association of Washington Cities (AWC), the AWC Employee Benefit Trust and the AWC Risk Management Service Agency. She also previously served as the SVP, Chief Risk Officer for AMC Entertainment. Lucy joined AMC after ten years at Starbucks where she worked in tax, internal audit and international accounting, including one year at Starbucks Asia Pacific Holding Company in Hong Kong where she set up and led the internal audit function for Asia, covering 13 countries. Prior to immigrating to the United States in 2002, Lucy worked in business development with Walmart China.
Lucy is bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese). She has a CPA, a CFE, and earned her MBA from Isenberg School of Management (UMass Amherst), and B.S. in Accounting from DeVry University. Lucy loves gardening, cooking, and traveling.
