NCOFCU Turning the Corner


Turning the Corner!

Dear Member,

NCOFCU is turning the corner in a true “not for profit" direction. The coalition formed in 2008, as a "not for profit", is moving in a direction to offer benefits to its membership in the true collaborative spirit.

As CEO, I am truly excited about this turn! I am looking forward to working with your board of directors in charting this course.

As most of you are aware, the National Coalition of Firefighter Credit Unions (NCOFCU) was formed for the purpose of promoting unity, cooperation and support among firefighter credit unions. Protecting and preserving the vision and purpose of firefighter credit unions is paramount to the continued success of the firefighter credit union movement. In order to achieve this, members of the firefighter’s credit union network joined forces in New Orleans in 2001 and have been meeting annually ever since. This network has continued to grow which lead to the development of the National Coalition of Firefighters Credit Unions Inc. (NCOFCU) a “not for profit" corporation. It is with this spirit in mind that moves us in our new direction!

Your board of directors have considered many ways in achieving the goals they have set. The following are just a few of the steps we wish to take;
  • A reasonable  corroborative dues structure which will allow all firefighters credit unions, their staff and volunteers,  to participate so as to receive the many benefits to be offered by NCOFCU.
  • Another way of achieving these goals is to internally host an annual conference. This will allow the coalition in the true “not for profit” collaborative spirit to maintain, reasonable registration fees, scholarship funds and daily attendance schedules, so that the staff and volunteers of all firefighter credit unions can participate. 
  • Seeking contributions from credit union leagues, government agencies, corporate and private sponsors to assist in NCOFCU’s “not for profit” collaborative effort to educate the staff and volunteers of firefighter credit unions as to managing their member’s assets.
We want you to feel comfortable in knowing that, like your credit union, your investment in the coalition will in the true cooperative spirit, be returned to the membership!

Grant Sheehan CEO
National Coalition of Firefighters Credit Unions Inc. ( NCOFCU )

Let the Truth be Told - Why a New NCUA Rule Could Jolt Credit Union Innovation

The National Credit Union Administration has finalized a rule to improve board and executive succession planning within the credit union industry. This strategic move aims to curb the trend of mergers driven by technological stagnation and poor succession strategies, ensuring more credit unions maintain their independence and enhance their technological capabilities. By Ken McCarthy, Manager of marketing communications at Tyfone Credit unions are merging out of existence because of an inability to invest in technology, the National Credit Union Administration Board wrote when introducing its now finalized rule on board succession planning. The regulator now requires credit unions to establish succession planning for critical positions in their organizations. But it’s likely to have even wider effects, such as preserving more independent charters and shaking up the perspectives of those on credit union boards. “Voluntary mergers can be used to create economies of scale to offer more or ...
