ALBUQUERQUE, NM (January 8, 2026) |
U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union, one of New Mexico’s leading credit unions with more than 100,000 members, shares that Marsha Majors announces her retirement as president and CEO after marking 40-years of service at U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union. Michael Moore has been promoted to president and CEO. With more than 16 years at U.S. Eagle, Moore previously served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of the credit union. Majors is expected to continue to support Moore as he transitions into his new role.
“After 40 incredible years with U.S. Eagle, I have made the decision to retire. It has truly been an honor to serve our members and work alongside such an amazing team. Together, we have built a credit union that not only serves our communities but also values each and every employee. I cannot think of a more fulfilling 40 years than having an impact on the lives of others,” said Majors. Her retirement culminates with the honor of receiving the African American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) 2025 Pete Crear Lifetime Achievement Award this summer. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in supporting the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People.”
When Majors joined the credit union 40 years ago, it operated under the name Albuquerque U.S. Employees Federal Credit Union serving primarily local government employees with two branches in Albuquerque. Throughout the years, the credit union grew and changed its name to U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union, thus becoming more inclusive and servicing more than government workers. It expanded to 10 branches across Central, Northwest and Northern New
Mexico and currently supports more than 100,000 members with over 300 employees statewide. “From championing financial well-being to fostering a culture rooted in trust, integrity, inclusivity and community, Marsha shaped not only our credit union’s success but also the lives of the members and employees who are at the center of everything we do. Under her vision, U.S. Eagle grew stronger, more innovative, and more connected to the communities we serve,” said Kevin McMahon, chair of the board of directors at U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union. Majors also set milestones as she was the first African American woman to run a credit union with $1 billion or greater in assets in the U.S.
“It is an honor to continue Marsha’s legacy and lead U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union into the next decade focusing on the financial wellness of our members, partnerships with the community and a companywide commitment to service,” said U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union President and CEO Michael Moore.
“I have been incredibly fortunate to work at a company that recognizes individual accomplishments and my mentor John Thompson, former U.S. Eagle CEO, was a great advocate who opened up opportunities for me to grow and succeed. I’ve also had the pleasure of working for many years with an amazing team of people. Along with our membership, I prioritized the needs of my staff because without them we could not have accomplished the work that made a difference in the lives of our members, people living in the communities we serve, and the company’s employees,” said Majors.
U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union’s expansion during the last 40 years has provided more ways for the organization to serve its members. The credit union offers financial wellness and education programs; a bill shark service that helps consolidate expenses and finds the best rates from service providers; pet insurance options for pet owners; the opportunity to receive a paycheck two days early; roadside assistance; and more. Under Majors’ leadership, U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union initiated a program that supports survivors of domestic violence. The credit union also changed its course of business through the years and adapted its services to support the diverse needs of its members. In fact, it was the first credit union in New Mexico to make banking services available for cannabis-related businesses. U.S. Eagle even initiated a special program called “MOMMs” centered around meeting the needs of members of modest means.
