After 22 Years, DeTuncq to Retire From UVA Community Credit Union

After leading UVA Community Credit Union for more than 20 years, Alison DeTuncq announced on Thursday that she plans to retire as president/CEO in May of 2022.

According to a statement, DeTuncq has been with the Charlottesville, Va.-based credit union for 32 years and feels humbled to have been given the opportunity to become so entrenched inside the credit union movement for so long.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as the credit union’s chief executive officer and to be a part of the credit union movement. I am most thankful to the great team I had the privilege to work with for so many years, from the dedicated volunteer board of directors and committee members, to the incredible staff who have been so committed to the success of our credit union. And, I am humbled to serve our members for the past three decades. Their support of the credit union is the reason we have been so successful. The credit union is in a great place, and I am very excited for its future,” DeTuncq said.

During her tenure as UVA Community’s leader, assets grew from $130 million to more than $1.3 billion. She oversaw three charter expansions and increased the credit union’s field of membership to 20 counties and five cities, while expanding the branch network to 18, according to a statement released by the credit union.

“Alison is the epitome of dedication, hard work and passion for our credit union movement. She has cultivated and modeled a culture driven by our Core Values of member service, integrity, collaborative teamwork, and the belief in building strong community partnerships and improving the financial well-being of our members” UVA Community Board Chairman Jeffrey C. Moscicki said.

Beyond DeTuncq’s work at the credit union, according to a press release, she has served on a number of credit union committees, such as:

• The Virginia Credit Union League’s Budge and Dues Committee;
• President of the Central Virginia Chapter of the Virginia Credit Union League;
• The Virginia Credit Union League’s Estonia Partnership Committee;
• Board member for VACORP Credit Union;
• First chairman of the board for VIZO Financial Corporate Credit Union; and
• President/CEO of Member Options, LLC, a wholly-owned mortgage company of UVA Community.

According to the credit union, a CEO search committee has been formed by its board of directors and the committee has partnered with Shanley Search Partners to find the credit union’s next leader.
