Brad Miller stepped down from his position as executive director of the Association of Corporate Credit Unions in February to take over as president/CEO of the $3.3 billion Southeast Corporate Federal Credit Union. Credit Union Times caught up with him on March 18 to discuss his plans for Southeast Corp and his thoughts on proposed corporate regulations and corporate system restructuring.

Credit Union Times: The League of Southeast Credit Unions' comment letter is consistent with the CUNA Task Force's recommendation of just one corporate. Odds are you won't be the lone survivor if the industry follows that plan. Has the difference in opinion caused problems for Southeast Corporate as you meet with members regarding the future of the corporate system?

Brad Miller: My focus, and what we've been talking about here with our staff and board, is on serving credit unions and rebuilding the trust and confidence that credit unions have in their corporate so we can continue to play a role in their success. It's really not about protecting our turf from my view. It is about having new regulations that provide services credit unions need while balancing reasonable risk taking with a sustainable business operation.
