MADISON, Wis.— Mark Robnett, president/CEO of Justice Federal Credit Union, will become chairman of CUESeffective today, following the retirement of immediate past Board Chair Richard Romero, who has served the CUES board with “distinction” for six years.
Robnett was elected to the CUES board in 2020 and appointed vice chair in 2023. CUES said Robnett brings extensive experience in credit union governance as well as fiscal, strategic, and operations leadership. In his new role, he will guide the board as the organization continues advancing leadership development across the credit union movement, the organization said.
‘Thoughtful Leader’
“Mark has been a valued member of the CUES board and a thoughtful leader within the credit union system,” CUES CEO Heather McKissick, said in a statement. “As a Certified Chief Executive (CCE) obtained through CUES CEO Institute, his insight, strategic perspective, and commitment to strengthening leaders will serve the credit union community well as CUES continues to evolve and expand our impact.”
‘Lasting Impact’
CUES noted the leadership transition also marks the retirement of Richard Romero, who concludes a distinguished period of service on the CUES board.
“Richard’s leadership and dedication have made a lasting impact on CUES and the leaders we serve,” said McKissick. “We are deeply grateful for his years of service and thoughtful guidance during a period of continued growth for the organization. We wish him all the best in his next chapter.”
