Terry Silva, chairman of Merced School Employees Federal Credit Union, was honored with the National Association of Credit Union Chairmen’s 2018 Eugene Ball Award during the 42nd Annual Chairmen’s Roundtable Forum in Louisville, Kentucky.
Silva joined the Board of Merced School Employees Federal Credit Union in 1986. And, he has attended nearly every Chairmen’s Roundtable Forum since being elected chairman. “He never misses an opportunity to sing the praises of NACUC. As a former educator, it’s obvious that Terry values the learning that takes place with our group. He’s not just here to help his credit union succeed, he’s invested in helping others as well. It’s that cooperative attitude that makes Terry deserving of this award,” commented NACUC chairman Marty Goldman.
In his career, Terry taught at elementary, secondary and junior college levels, served as a school site Administrator, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services and as Deputy Superintendent for the Merced Union High School District. After 33 years in education, Terry retired in January 2007. In addition to his participation in NACUC, he’s also active in a number of community and civic organizations.
The Eugene Ball Award was created in 2002 to recognize an outstanding leader in the credit union movement. The award was named after the late Eugene Ball, credit union icon, past chairman of Pentagon Federal Credit Union and past chairman of NACUC.
