PHOENIX — Faced with shrinking membership and a need to economize, state leagues, like the rest of the industry, are adapting to conditions and so far "there is no crystal ball" as to the future structure or service menu of the trade groups, the CEO-designate of the Credit Union Association of Oregon said Wednesday.
"We've all been carefully watching what's happening in Oklahoma and the league landscape but it's simply too early to speculate," as to regional structures or new management contracts, declared Troy Stang, named this week as the new president of CUAO effective July 1.
Stang, vice president of marketing at Arizona FCU of Phoenix the last two years and once a prime contender for a seat on the NCUA Board based on his government and political experience, was referring to negotiations underway by the Oklahoma League to outsource a broad service packet to the Texas League but still retaining a state lobbying function.

The Arizona executive said "there are plenty of conversations out there" on changing league structure but there remains "a lot more work to be done" before any service deals or compacts are ever arranged in Oregon or in the Northwest.
Stang, a former vice president at the Texas League, was recruited for the Oregon job by HRValue Group, of Plymouth, Mich., a headhunter firm specializing in league placements.
