WASHINGTON -- Lisa J. McCue is new vice president of editorial communications at the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), a Washington office position she was named to in mid-February.

As vice president, McCue will head up CUNA’s News Now – a daily Internet-based news and information service for credit unions and those interested in credit unions. She will also be in charge of CUNA’s “NewsWatch” newsletter, a bi-weekly publication distributed to all CUNA-member credit unions and reporting on the latest activities of the nation’s largest credit union trade group.

McCue will also develop and manage other communications projects for the association.

“In Lisa McCue we are fortunate to have a talented and experienced writer and editor with a great understanding of CUNA, the CU system, and Washington,” said CUNA’s Mark Wolff, senior vice president of communications. “As we expected, she has moved into this important communications role without missing a beat.”

A former American Banker newspaper reporter, McCue joined CUNA as a communications specialist in 2005. McCue has also worked as a writer and editor for the National Council of Savings Institutions in Washington, as well as a writer for newsletters on issues of international finance and general circulation publications.

She replaces David Klavitter in the position.

McCue is a graduate of Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. She has taken graduate courses in economics, and completed the Davenport Fellowship in Business and Economics Reporting at the University of Missouri (Columbia) School of Journalism.
