MONTEREY, Calif. -- The California Credit Union League stunned Big Valley attendees at the group's live political action committee auction with news that Vice President of State Government Affairs Ron Fong will leave the trade association to head the California Grocers Association as president/CEO effective March 31.
Fong, who directed the league's advocacy program and managed a 10-person staff based in Sacramento, is leaving the league after 12 years on the job. The grocery business is old hat to Fong, who previously ran his family's grocery store business, United Market Inc., before joining the league. The Fong family grocery business dates back to 1941.
