Dr. Keith Leggett, a senior vice president and senior economist at the American Bankers Association, will retire early next year.
Leggett said he plans to relocate to the North Carolina coast, where he will continue writing his Credit Union Watch blog. He also said he will spend more time golfing with his wife and taking on a larger role as a member of the Board of Trustees for his undergraduate institution, Mars Hill University.
"I guess I am like Captain Ahab and the credit unions are my white whale. Some things are just hard to give up," he said of his plans to continue his blog, which has attracted credit union readers in addition to the targeted banker audience.
Leggett said his last day at the ABA will be January 23.
