The head of the Meriden-based Credit Union League of Connecticut is leaving her post.

The Hartford Business Journal reported this morning that Jill Nowacki, CEO of the CULC for the last five years, will exit her role from the statewide association on May 15. The CULC is a trade association serving credit unions throughout Connecticut.

Nowacki’s impending departure comes just as the league opened its 85th annual meeting at the Connecticut Convention Center in downtown Hartford earlier this week.

League Chair Michael Hinchey, CEO of Hamden’s Crosspoint Federal Credit Union, was expected to formally announce at the meeting the launch of a search for Nowacki’s successor. Reasons for Nowacki’s departure, as well as her future plans, were not disclosed.

Before coming to the CULC in fall 2013, Nowacki worked for the Oregon-based Maps Credit Union as vice president of development and as executive director of its community foundation. She was also an executive at the Credit Union National Association.
