“We are very excited to have someone with Tim’s passion for the credit union, plus his extensive financial and business experience, join our Board of Directors,” said Sandy Jelinski, president and CEO. “I’m looking forward to Tim’s perspective and contributions as LMCU continues on our incredible upward trajectory of growth.”
“It is a pleasure to have Tim join our Board of Directors because his leadership, strategic planning, financial skills and extensive experience are all very well suited to LMCU and our culture of always doing what is right for our members,” stated Gretchen Tellman, LMCU Board Chair. “Tim’s background will help with the governance responsibilities and strategic goal setting of the LMCU Board.”
