Saying that he has put his "whole heart and soul into the credit union movement" and wants to move to the next chapter of his life, CUNA President/CEO Dan Mica announced today that he will step down as of January 2011.
Mica, who has held the position since 1996, has led the organization during a field of tremendous change for the credit union movement. It has included legislative fights on key issues such as H.R. 1151 and the recent efforts to create a temporary stabilization fund for corporate credit unions.
"I fully intend to move on to something else after I depart CUNA. There is much room in my life for additional accomplishments, and I am looking at all opportunities," Mica said in a statement." I am a true believer of credit unions and sincerely fond of the people who nurture and lead them. I have seen how they provide the best deal to consumers-and I am convinced that, in the future, credit unions will become of even greater importance to more and more consumer," he said in a statement.
Before joining CUNA, he was an executive vice president of the American Council of Life Insurance and before that served as Democratic congressman from Florida for 10 years.
CUNA Chief Operating Officer Richard McBride, a longtime associate of Mica, will also leave.
