NACUC Celebrates 40 Years
For four decades, the National Association of Credit Union Chairmen has been serving credit union volunteer
leaders from across the United States and its territories. To commemorate this milestone, NACUC will be
celebrating its 40th anniversary at the upcoming Chairmen's Roundtable Forum, October 5-8 in the historic city of
Philadelphia. To learn more about NACUC and how it all began, read more here.
An excerpt from "The Genesis of an Association: The NACUP Story":
"It was in this state of mind that the NACUP founders set about to organize an exclusive national association of
credit union presidents, specifically for chief elected officials. These credit union visionaries found that more was
gleaned sitting at the dinner table, talking to their peers than from anything they could hear from the “experts” at the
podium. Ernest Leslie, of Jax Navy, current member and 1st Vice President of the chartering group was recorded
as saying, “There will be nothing fancy, no professional speakers, no high-paid entertainers, but what we do have is
each other.” This premise gave birth to the roundtable dialogue where everyone had an equal say. Discussions
often produced clear and concise options in addressing ones own problems."

Norma Benson Scholarship Fund Exceeds $16,000
The Norma Benson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by the NACUC
Board in May 2011 to honor Norma Benson, Chairperson of Matanuska Valley
Federal Credit Union in Alaska, who passed away in November 2010. She served
on her credit union board for 30 years, rarely missing a Chairmen’s Roundtable
Forum. She was also involved in the Alaska Credit Union League and served as a
member of CUNA’s Awards Committee. In 2005, Benson was honored by NACUC
with the Eugene Ball Award. Each year, a scholarship is awarded to a credit union of
limited means (under $25 million in assets) to attend the Leadership Development
Seminar. This year’s Seminar is being held in Scottsdale, Arizona, May 22-24.
If you know of a deserving credit union, invite them to apply online at the Leadership Development Seminar page,
LDS Details. Watch for the scholarship recipient to be announced in mid-April.
Is your credit union interested in contributing to the Norma Benson Scholarship Fund? Please email
[email protected] to make a donation.

In a few short weeks, the NACUC Board will meet to plan this year’s Chairmen’s Roundtable Forum. This year
NACUC is celebrating 40 years of providing education and networking to credit union volunteer leaders. Looking
back on the last four decades, so much has changed in our credit union industry. What has not changed is the
cooperation among our esteemed group of chairpersons, our unique roundtable format and our mission of providing
the best education and training available to board leaders. Philadelphia, known as the City of Brotherly Love and
one of only two World Heritage cities in the U.S., will serve as the perfect location to celebrate our momentous
gathering. I invite you all to make plans to join us this Fall in Philadelphia.
