Nevada’s Largest Credit Union Names New CEO

Danny DeLaRosa will become president/CEO of Greater Nevada Credit Union in Carson City on July 1.

He succeeds Wally Murray, who announced in March his plans to retire from the top position he held since October 2000. During his CEO tenure, assets increased from $246 million to $1.7 billion while loans grew from $179 million to $1.2 billion, and membership expanded from 43,885 to 86,491, according to NCUA Call Reports.

DeLaRosa joined Nevada’s largest credit union in 2019 and served as its chief experience officer. He previously worked as chief sales officer for the $1 billion Vibrant Credit Union in Moline, Ill., and was vice president of member relations and market vice president in Nevada for the $3.9 billion United Federal Credit Union in St. Joseph, Mich.

“We are thrilled that Danny DeLaRosa, an internal candidate, has emerged as our next leader,” GNCU Board Chair Rob Joiner said in a prepared statement. “Danny’s innovative mindset, industry expertise and proven track record make him the perfect candidate to guide GNCU into the future. With continuous support and confidence from the board of directors, we are excited to see Danny continue to focus on exceptional service, community engagement and delivering valuable products and services to our more than 86,000 member-owners.”
