Chaz became the CEO in 2016 and sought support to improve the credit union’s situation.

The partnership with TSG went beyond a typical consulting engagement.

TSG’s approach involved becoming an integral part of the executive team rather than just a consultant. This personal involvement and understanding were crucial to address the credit union’s complex challenges.

Since 2017, Dover Federal Credit Union has experienced significant positive impacts under Chaz’s leadership. Financially, they have achieved record-breaking years with strong loan growth, low delinquency rates, and higher margins compared to their peers. Culturally, they have invested in creating a positive work environment, recognizing the importance of their teams as the organization’s most valuable asset. The credit union now has a diverse senior leadership team, fostering diversity of thought and bringing in different perspectives for better decision-making. Additionally, the credit union has actively engaged with the community, changing their reputation and making a positive impact through community involvement and participation.
