Financial Center First Credit Union’s Chief Operations Officer, Sven Leander, was recently elected to the Credit Union Centers (CUC) Board of Directors. Leander, being one of two elected this year, was granted the position of Class B At-Large Director.

The CUC Board of Directors consists of fourteen members who work to support and expand the Co-op Shared Branching Network throughout the Country, which consists of over 5,600 locations. This Board supports 407 shared branching locations in the Midwest. Shared branching is a co-operative of credit unions that allows participating credit union members to transact business at shared locations as if they were banking at their own credit union.

Financial Center has been an active participant in the CUC for 14 years and has had a staff member sit on the CUC Board for 7 years.
