SUN Credit Union Leadership

Meet the dedicated leaders who guide SUN Credit Union and prioritize our members’ best interests.
At SUN Credit Union, our leadership stands out for one key reason: it’s member-driven. Unlike banks, SUN Credit Union is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, making decisions in the best interest of our members—not shareholders. This distinction ensures that we prioritize people over profits.
