The National Cooperative Business Association put President/CEO Mike Beall (pictured), a former credit union industry executive, on administrative leave last week.
Judy Ziewacz, a cooperative industry pioneer, took over his position on an interim basis.
NCBA Director of Communications and Public Relations John Torres shared the news about Ziewacz's appointment but declined to provide additional details about the decision to put Beall on leave.
Beall has not yet returned calls from CU Times seeking comment. He began the president/CEO position on Nov. 15, 2012.
Prior to taking the NCBA position, Beall served as president/CEO for the Missouri Credit Union Association and president/CEO for the Maryland and District of Columbia Credit Union Association.
The National Cooperative Hall of Fame said it inducted Ziewacz in October 2014 for her years of efforts spent organizing and developing the cooperative industry.
“Ziewacz was instrumental in launching the nation's first statewide cooperative development center – now known as Cooperative Development Services,” the Hall of Fame wrote in Ziewacz's induction announcement.
“She also played a key role in establishing CooperationWorks!, a national cooperative development network, which is responsible for the creation of hundreds of co-ops, thousands of jobs and serving hundreds of thousands of members. As the executive director of the Cooperative Development Foundation, she led the charge for the creation of dotCoop, an important branding tool for cooperatives in the Internet age,” the Hall of Fame added.
