RIO RANCHO, N.M.– The National Association of Credit Union Service Organizations (NACUSO) has named Randy Salser as its new president and CEO. He succeeds Ronaldo Hardy, who left to become president and CEO of BALANCE.
Salser most recently served as VP of strategic partnerships at Allied Solutions, where he led alliance development and growth strategies. He previously spent more than a decade as president of NAFCU Services Corp., where NACUSO said he redefined the business model, doubled the organization’s size and impact, and delivered collaborative solutions that brought measurable value to credit unions nationwide.
Salser holds a Master of Science in Management of Technology from Georgia Tech and a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Administration with a business minor from Benedictine College.
‘Great Partner’
“We are delighted to welcome Randy to NACUSO,” Bill Beardsley, chair of NACUSO and president of Michigan Business Connection, said. “While at NAFCU, Randy was a great partner with NACUSO, and with his unique blend of industry and business experience and his history with associations and regulatory and legislative bodies, I am confident he will have immediate impact with our advocacy efforts and our members. My thanks to our Selection Committee and its chair Nick Evens, as well as to Miriam Ackerman for her extremely successful interim leadership effort.”
‘Honored to Join’
“I am honored to join NACUSO at such a pivotal time for credit unions and CUSOs,” Salser said. “Collaboration and innovation have always been at the heart of our movement, and I look forward to working alongside our members, partners, and system leaders to strengthen the cooperative model, expand opportunities, and help credit unions thrive in today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape.”
