About ACUMA
Bob Dorsa, ACUMA President
The American Credit Union Mortgage Association is an organization of and for credit unions dedicated to the simple principle that credit unions have both an obligation and a competitive need to become a “premier provider of home loans for their membership.” ACUMA’s Mission is to be “THE RESOURCE” for Credit Unions seriously engaged in the business of Home Finance.
