MnCUN President & CEO Comments on CUNA & NAFCU Merger

Minnesota Credit Union Network President & CEO Mara Humphrey offered comment on the CUNA and NAFCU Board of Directors announced plan to merge. 

"We are excited with the news of CUNA and NAFCU announcing merger intentions to create America’s Credit Unions. At MnCUN, we see this as a tremendous opportunity to combine the best of both trade associations to provide best-in-class resources for credit unions and speak with one voice in Washington D.C. We look forward to working collaboratively to be credit unions’ strongest partner and advocate," Humphrey said.

Additionally, the American Association of Credit Union Leagues congratulates the CUNA and NAFCU Boards of Directors in announcing this historic merger. 

​"We believe the merger is best for credit unions and their members as a superior model for a national trade association, providing a stronger, unified and impactful advocacy voice” according to Jeff Olson, Chairman of the American Association of Credit Union Leagues and President/CEO of the Dakota Credit Union Association. Ongoing credit union system evolution is necessary and a rich source of opportunity for system growth, strength and resilience. Ever stronger advocacy for credit unions and their members at the national and state levels is a highest-priority outcome, and working collaboratively with the state associations across the country, this merger provides a tremendous opportunity to advance the credit union movement."
