Advanced Financial FCU Announces CEO Leadership Transition

Advanced Financial Federal Credit Union announced that Sandra Mullins will step down as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective December 31, 2026. After nearly nine transformative years with the credit union, including five years serving as CEO, Mullins leaves behind a meaningful legacy and lasting impact on the credit union, its members, and the team she has led. 

Mullins joined the Advanced Financial FCU team in 2018 and was named CEO in 2021. During her tenure, she helped guide the credit union through continued growth and change, while building a strong team and deepening the organization's commitment to its members and the communities it is proud to serve each and every day.

Her impact reached well beyond the day-to-day responsibilities of leading the organization. Over the past five years as CEO, Mullins focused not only on the growth of the credit union, but also on its people. She strived to build lasting relationships with employees, members, and community partners, while helping shape the values, culture, and direction of Advanced Financial FCU. She leaves the credit union with a strong foundation and a talented team positioned to carry that work forward. 

To ensure a seamless and strategic transition, the Board of Directors has unanimously appointed Dwayne Dolly, Senior Vice President of Operations, to succeed Mullins as President and CEO, effective January 1, 2027.

Dolly has been a valued member of Advanced Financial FCU for more than two decades, serving in a variety of roles and capacities throughout his tenure. Having grown his career right alongside the organization, he brings a deep understanding of Advanced Financial FCU, its members, employees, and the values that have shaped the credit union and made it what it is today. His extensive institutional knowledge and years of experience within the financial industry will provide continuity and stability as he steps into his new role and helps lead the credit union into its next chapter.

Mullins and Dolly will continue working closely together over the next few months to prepare for a smooth and thoughtful leadership transition. Advanced Financial FCU is grateful for Mullins' years of leadership, dedication, and service, and extends their most heartfelt wishes to her as she embarks on her next great adventure.
