“I’m looking forward to continuing to develop the great foundation that’s in place.” said Walrod. “We’ve got a strong Team in place at CU Holding, and I want to support them and the initiatives that they’re excited about. Together we’ll be able to create some diversified opportunities that will allow us to support Mazuma and other credit unions.”
