RALEIGH, N.C. – "Send us your momma, we'll treat her right." That's a common phrase down in North Carolina among the dedicated employees' of State Employees Credit Union where Jim Blaine has led the $13 billion CU since 1979.

Blaine, a self-proclaimed credit union fanatic, is Credit Union Times' 2005 CEO of the Year. He said the CU gives everyone such a fair deal, you can feel comfortable sending your mother to the credit union.

It is also a credit union that, despite its size, is surprisingly nimble in adapting to membership needs.
