The Rundown

• Trailblazer Award winner is active nationally in credit union IT leadership.
• Heather Moshier led numerous initiatives and championed multiple member-facing and back office projects at San Diego County CU.
• She credits collegial relationships in the industry and at her credit union for progress they've made.

Heather Moshier works for the benefit of her credit union's members out front and behind the scenes, and, as if she had time to spare, has become a respected member of the nationwide network of CU technology managers.

For that and more, Moshier, executive vice president of information technology at the $5 billion San Diego County Credit Union, has been named the 2011 winner of the Trailblazer Award as IT Executive of the Year by Credit Union Times.

In her nomination, plaudits for Moshier came from vendors, consultants and peers alike, including this from Rudy Pereira, CUNA Technology Council chair and senior vice president of operations and technology at the $7.6 billion Alliant CU in Chicago.
