Illinois Educators Credit Union President/CEO Gene Taylor is retiring after 38 years of service. He was hired by the Springfield-based IECU (then known as Springfield Teachers' Credit Union) in 1977 as an assistant business manager while he was working as a high school teacher. In 1980, he became president/CEO, and in 1983, he left teaching to make the credit union his full-time career. Under Taylor's leadership, IECU grew assets from about $1 million in 1977 to $50 million today. Membership also increased from approximately 800 members to more than 7,100.

The $562 million Marine Credit Union hired Christina Tessmer as a compliance manager. She joined the La Crosse, Wis.-based cooperative from the $1.1 billion CoVantage Credit Union in Antigo, Wis., where she served as a compliance officer.
