Credit Union Trust has appointed a new Board Chair and added two new members to its Board of Directors. The appointments include:
• Jessica Hillborg, Board Chair (Frankenmuth Credit Union, VP of Administration)
• Heather Luciani, Board Member (Honor Credit Union, Chief Strategy Officer)
• Kelli Wisner-Frank (Community Choice Credit Union, Chief Financial Officer)
“Jessica has been a valuable member of the board of directors since Credit Union Trust was founded, and is a highly engaged leader,” said Jordan Summers, President and CEO of Credit Union Trust. “Her deep experience in compliance and operations has been particularly valuable and we will benefit greatly from her expanded leadership.”
“I am honored to serve in this expanded role,” said Hillborg. “The value and growth of this organization is noteworthy, and my goal is to contribute to the expanded impact of its services on more members of the Michigan community.”
Hillborg also welcomed Luciani and Wisner-Frank to the board. “They bring significant and valuable experience and are well respected in the industry,” said Hillborg. “I look forward to the perspective they bring to the Board as Credit Union Trust continues to grow.”
“I am thrilled to join the Board of Directors of Credit Union Trust,” said Luciani. “The leadership, vision, and entrepreneurial spirit of this group has created an organization that provides critical solutions to our members and communities. I look forward to contributing to our next phase of growth and expansion.”
“Credit Union Trust’s board and management have laid a great foundation,” said Wisner-Frank. “I am looking forward to contributing to the future growth and success of the company.”
Luciani and Wisner-Frank replace the CEOs from their respective credit unions, who were part of the initial board formed in 2018 that helped launch Credit Union Trust.
Credit Union Trust is a limited purpose trust bank established in 2019 by seven Michigan credit unions to provide reasonable, reliable, and accessible trust and fiduciary services to a broader range of people—helping them protect assets, build desired legacies, and enjoy peace of mind.
