Every single UFCU Member (and there are more than 360,000 of us) is supported by an amazing team of UFCU employees. Our Members rely upon UFCU to deliver products and services that help them build and maintain financial health, and our employees come to work every day with that goal in mind. Equipping those employees to serve our Members is a key focus of UFCU’s Board of Directors—the eleven individuals, all UFCU Members, who volunteer their time to oversee the strategic direction and activities of our cooperative. In that regard, the Board makes no decision more important than the selection of a Chief Executive Officer for the organization. We had that opportunity in 2022, following the announcement of Tony Budet’s retirement after a remarkable 38 years. Needless to say, we knew that appointing the next leader of the #1 credit union in Central Texas was of the utmost importance.
