The $5.8 billion, 242,000-member San Diego County Credit Union has named Dale Turner to the newly created position of senior vice president, real estate.
Turner will be in charge of SDCCU’s lending portfolio and strategies, as well as real estate lending and processing activities, including first mortgages, construction and home equity loans.
“SDCCU customers will benefit from his leadership and advisory on best practices and new business development initiatives. His appointment further strengthens our market-leading position as we move forward with our strategic growth initiatives,” said SDCCU President/CEO Teresa Halleck.
