Message from the President/CEO

Dear GCU Member,

It is with both happiness and sadness that I am sharing with you today my retirement as the President/CEO of Guadalupe Credit Union (GCU), effective October 2023. I have greatly enjoyed my 32 years as President/CEO of GCU, and it’s hard to believe how quickly the time has passed.

When I started with GCU, we were $10 million in assets, and because of all of your tremendous support and loyalty, GCU has grown to over $260 million in assets. Although I'm happy to move onto a new chapter in my life, I will miss all of you and GCU’s mission of “Providing Financial Empowerment in the Communities We Serve”. I reflect with immense pride on the journey we have undertaken together.

It has been a great privilege and honor to be the President/CEO of GCU. I can assure you that I leave the credit union in excellent hands. Thanks to the commitment of GCU’s Board of Directors to our mission, they have chosen Tanya Romero, who has worked at GCU with me for the past 21 years, as my successor. I am confident she will do an excellent job of continuing to hold true to our current values and move the credit union to even greater levels of service to all of you.

I would also be honored if you would join me on the afternoon of October 22^nd at GCU’s 75^th Annual Meeting. This will be my last Annual Meeting as President/CEO. As always, we will have a wonderful lunch and updates for you on the credit union. It will also be a special celebration of our 75 years of service to our members. The future is incredibly bright for GCU and it will be exciting to witness the continued growth and prosperity of GCU, even if from afar.

May this transition be a blessing for all of you and our excellent team,

Winona Nava

President/CEO

Guadalupe Credit Union
