As commissioner, Ross' accomplishments include passing a legislative package that protects Michigan consumers from mortgage fraud by requiring the registration of mortgage loan officers, the league said.

He also oversaw the passage of the re-codified Michigan Uniform Securities Act that provides enhanced penalties against perpetrators of securities fraud.

“I am honored and excited to rejoin an organization whose number one focus is to preserve and promote the credit union difference,” Ross said in the MCUL announcement. “To keep Michigan's financial future strong, we must also make sure ordinary families and small businesses are on solid financial footing, and credit unions across Michigan are doing that work every day in countless ways.”
