After a career spanning four decades of dedicated service to members at three credit unions, Dwayne Naylor retires from his role as CEO at Civic Credit Union. He previously served in leadership roles at both State Employees’ Credit Union and Langley Federal Credit Union. 

“Dwayne’s unwavering commitment to credit unions and the real differences they make in the lives of members has been at the forefront his entire career. His unwavering leadership and support of creating, building and launching Civic is his legacy in our organization and the members we serve,” shared Civic Board Chair Dr. Aaron Noble. 

Naylor spent the last 14 years at Civic (also from 2000-2005), and recently led the transition of LGFCU to Civic, providing 400,000 members with options for increasing demands for anytime access and ever-changing advances in technology that members need and expect from their credit union. 

“Being part of delivering on our Board’s progressive vision of creating and building a credit union that our members deserve has been the greatest honor of my career,” said Naylor. “The Civic team works hard, inspiring me every day with their commitment to the members, toward delivering the best options for our members and the communities where they work and live,” he added. 

Under Naylor’s leadership, Civic has strengthened support for North Carolina’s local government community. He sums it up by saying, “Supporting those who make our lives better, in our own communities, just makes sense. Without them, our day-to-day is affected, in ways we often take for granted. Being part of supporting and celebrating them has enriched me far more than I could have imagined at the start, 43 satisfying years ago.” 

Naylor’s plans include completing his PhD in Organizational Change. Lifelong learning is important to him, and he supported and promoted opportunities for others throughout his career. “Studying other perspectives and practices, bringing big and challenging ideas, and having fun doing it most often make things better than we found them, and that matters.” 

Current CFO David D’Annunzio will become CEO on January 19th. He has served as CFO at Civic for two years, with previous leadership roles in credit unions in North Carolina and Washington, DC. “I am excited and honored to become Civic’s CEO. I look forward to leading our team in building even more for our members, delivering on the Board’s vision for Civic to provide the best financial options for North Carolina’s local government community.”
