University of Hawai`i Federal Credit Union appoints Travis Bow as President and CEO
HONOLULU, HI (January 2, 2018) — The Board of Directors of the University of Hawai`i Federal Credit Union (UHFCU) is pleased to announce the appointment of Travis Bow as President and CEO, effective January 1, 2018. UHFCU, with assets of $618 million and nearly 30,000 members, is the State’s fifth largest credit union. Bow’s appointment follows the retirement of former President and CEO Jeanine Morse, who served in the role for nine years.
Board Chair Edward Yuen made the following statement: “The Board of Directors is fully confident that Travis will be a strong President and CEO with a continued commitment to member service, planned growth and staff development. The Board has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to observe Travis’ exceptional communication skills and management capabilities, as well as to have worked with him in strategic planning and at monthly meetings. Throughout his career with UHFCU, Travis has been steadfast in providing exceptional member service, striving for operational efficiency, and embracing the credit union philosophy of “people helping people,”
“I am excited and honored to be chosen to lead our remarkable organization into the future,” said Bow. “I joined the credit union 17 years ago because I wanted to be a part of an organization committed to the community and members it serves. During my time at the credit union, I’ve not only gained tremendous knowledge and appreciation of where we’ve been, but more importantly of where we need to go. Working with Jeanine has thoroughly prepared me, and I am thankful for her strong leadership and mentorship. I have a passion for the credit union industry and specifically UHFCU. With the help of a very talented team, we will continue to provide exceptional service to our members and carry on as Hawai`i’s leading credit union.”
Previously, Bow served as the Vice President of Member Support – a position which oversaw multiple areas of the credit union, including the IT department and the credit union’s branches. Bow, a graduate of the University of Hawai`i, is deeply committed to the UH, as well as the other organizations that make up the UHFCU’s membership.
