Cooke replaces former Editor/Publisher Paul Gentile, who left the publication to become president/CEO of the New Jersey Credit Union League; Tom Greve has stepped into the publisher's role.
"It's an exciting time for credit unions with the mortgage industry in shambles, the UBIT lawsuit getting underway, and the ABA lawsuit in Pennsylvania," Cooke said. "CU Times is going to be there and continue to be the number one source for credit union news."
Looking ahead for the magazine, Cooke said that she wants to "cultivate a deeper online presence and offer more in person events, which are things readers have asked for."
Cooke is 31 and lives in Fulton, Md., with her husband and two kids. She graduated from Western Maryland College with a B.A. in political science and a minor in journalism. Prior to coming to CU Times Cooke wrote for a weekly newsletter, Credit Union Regulatory Insider.
