Marshfield Medical Center Credit Union's New President Discusses Experience for Young Professionals

Wednesday, May 5th, 2021 -- 8:05 AM

This May, Marshfield Medical Center Credit Union welcomed VP of Finance & Risk David Murphy into his new role as President.

Murphy takes the lead position at a relatively young 35 years-old, but he won't be the first young professional to assume the lead role.  Retiring President Carol Adler began in her role as President when she was just 28 years-old. Adler and Murphy's career paths are a good reminder to young professionals interested in leadership roles within credit unions that achieving their goals is possible.

Their message to young future leaders is to work hard, take advantage of any educational opportunities, embrace different experiences, and learn from mistakes.

When Adler became President at MMCCU, she brought with her 9.5 years of experience at a different credit union that had been growing and innovating.  Throughout Adler's tenure, the CU has witnessed extraordinary growth.

After 36 years as President, Adler is handing the reins to Murphy in May 2021. At age 35, Murphy is also one of the youngest CEOs in Wisconsin credit union history.

Murphy not only brings 19 years of CU experience to his role, but a passion for learning and networking that he encourages all young professionals to embrace.  To his fellow young professionals seeking career advancement, Murphy encourages a willingness to learn.

Though being a leader can be a daunting task, Murphy encourages seeking leadership positions whenever they are presented, even if they aren’t associated with a specific job.
