Douglas Delay (Chief Governance Officer, GFA) was recently named the 2026 Volunteer of the Year by the Cooperative Credit Union Association (CCUA)! This award is part of the Awards of Excellence, an annual series that honors individuals who’ve embraced the credit union philosophy to lead by example.
Doug has served on the GFA Board of Directors since 1985, providing nearly 40 years of volunteer leadership through periods of growth, economic change, industry transformation, and increasing regulatory complexity.
