Recently appointed CEO of San Diego-based Cabrillo Credit Union, Anne McClure spent nearly 27 years with Cabrillo and additional years in the financial industry under her belt. A native of Southern California, she attended Poway High School, went on to University of California, Santa Cruz for a year, completing her college degree at University of California, Irvine in 3.5 years.<\/p>\n McClure did not choose the financial field as a career move. Her first bank position came while in college working part-time jobs. At the suggestion of a bank teller, she applied at her bank, was hired, and the rest is history. She said she always believed no matter what position you hold, always work as hard as you can and stand out as the best in that position. This philosophy is something she teaches now to every new hire. \u201cWhether high-level executive or a beginning teller, always give your all, as you never know who is watching,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n While working at the bank, she learned about a position at Cabrillo and decided that this was an inspiring change to pursue.<\/p>\n \u201cCredit unions are in business to serve their member\/customers (owners),\u201d she said. \u201cMembers are at the top of the organization chart at credit unions. That\u2019s very different than a bank, which is in business for stockholders.\u201d<\/p>\n McClure joined Cabrillo Credit Union in 1992 as the Research and Compliance manager.<\/p>\n \u201cCabrillo was a smaller organization, so wearing a number of hats just a matter of course. I was never bored. As we grew, it became evident we needed additional assistance, so I chose human resources and training. I just loved it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n After a few years at Cabrillo, Rady Children\u2019s Hospital (then Children\u2019s Hospital) asked her to create a national program in San Diego, Credit Unions for Kids. McClure said she jumped at the chance and brought in more than 12 credit unions to participate.<\/p>\n \u201cIn just over 21 years, we have raised over $3.1 million for Children\u2019s, while Cabrillo has been the top fundraiser for all that time. This year\u2019s Cabrillo Credit Union employees and member owners raised $50,000,\u201d McClure said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis annual May program has proved to become one of the most anticipated and participated events for our employees,\u201d McClure continued. \u201cWe have built an enormous following for Rady Children\u2019s Hospital and have never seen such enthusiasm and lifting of our overall spirit de corps as this event. Branches are decorated and employees all carry the message to our members, resulting in a unified commitment to this highly worthwhile organization.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2015, Rady Children\u2019s Hospital awarded McClure and Cabrillo with a magnificent sculpture of the fountain and children gathered in front of Children\u2019s, acknowledging the long-standing amazing fundraising work they had done on their behalf. \u201cIt was one of the most memorable and emotional moments of my entire career,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n McClure\u2019s character personality is maintaining a positive outlook on life, family and career.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe this came from my dad and my faith,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s really a choice you make. I choose to put my mental energy on all that is good. In the end, I am happier because of it.<\/p>\n \u201cI look back on the past 26 years with a keen sense of pride. As a working mom, I\u2019m always engaged in the life of my children. I didn\u2019t miss the important moments, always there for water polo games and band performances. I certainly didn\u2019t miss anything significant in their lives and alternately in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n A mother of three, McClure shared her work ethics with her children who all worked throughout school.<\/p>\n \u201cI always believed my children should work,\u201d she said. \u201cYou must be able to multi-task in life, so I felt a good life lesson was to work their way through school.\u201d<\/p>\n Cabrillo began in 1955, serving as the credit union for the U.S. Border Patrol. In 1976, Cabrillo changed its name from Border Federal Credit Union to Cabrillo Credit Union. The company merged with Sharp Federal Credit Union, adding a large contingency of Sharp employees and merged again with Carlsbad City Credit Union. Cabrillo serves anyone who lives or works in San Diego County, federal employees in Imperial County, and has five major branches including San Diego\u2019s Federal Building Downtown.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By SDCNN Staff Cabrillo Credit Union selects Anne McClure as CEO Recently appointed CEO of San Diego-based Cabrillo Credit Union, Anne McClure spent nearly 27 years with Cabrillo and additional years in the financial industry under her belt.
