Credit union consulting firm Dollar Associates LLC announced last week  that it will add executive recruiting to its list of services offered to the credit union industry beginning in 2012.

"With over 40% of credit union CEOs reaching retirement age in the next five years," said Dennis Dollar, head of the Birmingham, Ala.-based Dollar Associates, "our client base has been encouraging us for several years to put our countless contacts in the industry to work for them as this major shifting of credit union executives takes place in the years to come. We believe the time is right for us to add recruiting and executive search to our ever-growing range of consultative services."

Dollar Associates has expanded its website (www.dollarassociates.com) to receive resumes and list positions being sought. The firm has indicated that it hopes its entry into this field will offer credit unions "a more demanding standard of results with a more competitive price tag attached."
