Meet the Team
CUMA understand the importance of recognising the work and effort that goes into making our high-quality service possible to credit union management teams across Ireland. Without the incredible minds that work behind-the-scenes to make it all possible, we simply would not be who we are today as an organisation.
Our team is comprised of Lisa Stapleton as CEO, Suzanne Ryder as Senior Member Services Officer and a nine-member Board of Directors governing the association, all of whom are credit union CEOs.
