I just read Mike Welch's column, "There's great CU talent under that glass ceiling (CU Times, July 5) regarding the good, old glass ceiling. I see myself in his statement, "the sharpest and most capable credit union executives are the hundreds of women on senior management teams of the nation's highest profile and most successful credit unions." I have applied for a number of CEO positions at all size credit unions and never been granted an in-person interview. While I understand that there are many fine applicants for these positions, I am amazed at the credit unions and search firms that call me based upon my resume, but do not schedule an interview. I believe the call is based on the perception that my name belongs to a man. The initial telephone contact puts that assumption and my opportunities to rest. Thanks for seeing the truth. Now I feel better. C. Lee Brice Vice President Operations and Marketing Desert Schools Federal Credit Union.
