WASHINGTON – CUNA President/CEO Dan Mica has invited a small number of CEOs from very large CUs to Washington early next month to talk about issues facing the credit union industry. "I haven't seen an agenda yet, but it's an attempt to foster communication and make sure everybody is understanding what's going on," said Tom Dorety, president/CEO of the $3 billion Suncoast Schools FCU, who serves on the CUNA Board. Dorety said it is not a CUNA Board function, and as to why it's going to involve only the CEOs of large CUs, he said that group is obviously an important constituency for CUNA. Dorety thinks it's an excellent idea, and noted that large CUs, which pay the most in dues to CUNA, should get involved in important national issues facing credit unions. "When important issues come up, we're one segment that should have a voice. It's just an attempt to talk about issues with that one segment of the industry. It's a great idea," he said.
