A Written Message from the Candidate

CU*Answers Owners,

I am Dean Wilson, CEO of FOCUS Credit Union in Southeastern Wisconsin. Since 2008, I have had the privilege of serving on the CU*Answers Board of Directors, working alongside some of the finest cooperative leaders in our industry. Being part of this collaborative board has been one of the most significant achievements of my career.

Over the last 18 years, I have watched our cooperative grow and leverage new technologies with a front-row seat. I believe an integral part of our board’s governance is the willingness to ask the right questions of our management team—a role I take seriously. In my 30+ years in the credit union movement, I have seen that our greatest successes happen when we move forward as one.

While finding our collaborative roots in a data processing cooperative might seem unlikely to some, this determined group continues to find solutions for all credit unions. Today, more than ever, we must stand together to meet emerging technological opportunities.

I am seeking your support for re-election because I believe I have more to contribute to this collective. Success is often in the eye of the beholder, but at CU*Answers, we have a unique legacy of raising all credit unions together. For the past 18 years, I have truly “stood on the shoulders of giants,” and if re-elected, I promise to continue representing all credit unions and their members with dedication.

Sincerely,
Dean Wilson, CEO
FOCUS Credit Union
