Marsha Majors Retires After 40 Years of Service; U.S. Eagle Announces Michael Moore as New President and CEO

Jan 6, 2026

U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union is celebrating an important moment in our history. After 40 years of service, leadership, and lasting impact, President and CEO Marsha Majors has announced her retirement. At the same time, we are proud to share that Michael Moore, who has served U.S. Eagle for more than 16 years, has been promoted to President and CEO.

This transition marks both a celebration of Marsha’s remarkable career and an exciting new chapter for our credit union.

Celebrating Marsha’s 40 Years of Service

Marsha’s journey with U.S. Eagle began four decades ago, when we were known as the Albuquerque U.S. Employees Federal Credit Union and served primarily local government employees out of two branches. Over the years, Marsha helped guide the organization through tremendous growth—including our transition to U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union—and today we proudly serve more than 100,000 members across Central and Northern New Mexico.

Marsha’s leadership created lasting change. She championed financial wellness, a culture rooted in trust and inclusivity, and innovative programs that helped U.S. Eagle better support its members—including services for survivors of domestic violence, members of modest means (our MOMMs program), and even cannabis-related businesses, making U.S. Eagle the first credit union in New Mexico to do so.

She also made history, becoming the first African American woman in the U.S. to lead a credit union with $1 billion or more in assets.

Marsha’s retirement culminates with the honor of receiving the African American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) 2025 Pete Crear Lifetime Achievement Award this summer. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in supporting the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People.”

Welcoming Incoming President & CEO Michael Moore

As we celebrate Marsha’s legacy, we also look ahead with excitement as Michael Moore steps into the role of President and CEO. Michael has been with U.S. Eagle for over 16 years, previously serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. His experience and vision make him well positioned to carry forward the values and mission that define U.S. Eagle.

“It is an honor to continue Marsha’s legacy and lead U.S. Eagle Credit Union into the next decade focusing on the financial wellness of our members, partnerships with the community, and a companywide commitment to service,” Michael said.

Michael’s leadership will support U.S. Eagle’s ongoing commitment to offering meaningful tools, services, and resources. Our goal remains the same as it has for 90 years: to adapt, innovate, and support the diverse needs of the members and communities we serve.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate Marsha’s incredible legacy and welcome Michael into his new role, one thing remains constant: our commitment to you—our members who make everything we do possible.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come. We’re excited for where we’re going. And we’re endlessly grateful for the people who make our mission meaningful every day.

Here’s to the next chapter—rooted in service, strengthened by community, and inspired by people who care.
