United Southeast Federal Credit Union in Tennessee names CEO

United Southeast Federal Credit Union in Bristol, Tennessee, has appointed Shelly Brown as its president and CEO.

Brown has been in the credit union industry for close to 35 years, including more than 20 with the $202 million-asset United Southeast, most recently as senior vice president of operations.

"I am honored to be selected as the new president and CEO of United Southeast Federal Credit Union," Brown said in a press release. "We have a wonderful team of talented individuals here who are dedicated to our members and to providing them with the best service possible. I am excited about the opportunity to serve our members and grow our credit union while also continuing to be involved in our communities."

Originally chartered in 1941 to cater to employees of the Inter-Mountain Telephone Company, USFCU has since grown to serve members across both Tennessee and Virginia.

"I am excited about the opportunity to serve our members and grow our credit union while also continuing to be involved in our communities," said Shelly Brown, who was named CEO of United Southeast Federal Credit Union in September.

"When the Credit Union Board of Directors was faced with the challenge of finding a new President/CEO, we knew that we had strong 'bench strength' within the Credit Union itself,” Gary King, chairman of USFCU’s board, said in the press release. “Shelly Brown brings years of Credit Union management and operations experience to her new role as President/CEO, and it was no surprise that she was selected to lead USFCU into the future.”
