“Bill will be missed, not only as a long-term and dedicated employee, but as a nationally recognized consumer lending expert and valued industry resource for credit unions,” said Kathy Blumenfeld, vice president, CUNA Mutual Group Lending and Payment Security. “The expertise he brought to the position through his many industry speaking engagements and relationships is difficult to replace. But we are thrilled to have Andrea step in and build on what Bill has established. Andrea is uniquely qualified to step into this position without missing a beat.”
Klewin joined CUNA Mutual Group in 1986 as associate legal counsel and has held numerous leadership positions, including his most recent role as director of regulatory compliance for the company’s Lending and Payment Security business. Klewin made his mark on credit union lending with creative solutions, fresh ideas and LOANLINER® product designs. Throughout the last several years, Klewin led the company’s lending products through a highly active regulatory environment. He built a strong team of compliance experts and readied them to successfully handle ongoing regulatory changes.
“I’ve been helping credit unions with their lending, operations and regulatory compliance for 28 years. The most rewarding part of my job was exchanging insights with our customers. I will miss their questions and comments, their camaraderie and their passion about what we do. Most of all, I will miss the feeling of satisfaction when I have helped someone at a credit union solve a particularly troublesome problem. Thank you to everyone with whom I’ve worked."
