Normand R. Dubreuil
Maine State CU has established a scholarship in the name of its late CEO, Normand R. Dubreuil, with a $50,000 donation to The Foundation for Maine’s Community College System and Maine Maritime Academy. The scholarship will award need-based grants to Maine residents pursuing an education in the trades and technology.
“Normand was a strong advocate for continued learning and a proud resident of Maine,” said Tucker Cole, Chief Executive Officer at Maine State CU. “He was a true believer in the credit union philosophy and was always looking for a way to help those in need. This scholarship will ensure his legacy continues.”
The Normand R. Dubreuil Scholarship Fund will support students in the community college system across the state, as well as Maine residents who are attending Maine Maritime Academy. The respective schools will manage the scholarship fund.
Normand R. Dubreuil was the Chief Executive Officer at Maine State CU for 21 years. He started his career at Maine State CU in 1985 and became CEO in 1994. Dubreuil helped Maine State CU to become one of the largest credit unions in Maine. Throughout his career, he was an avid learner and always made sure employees had access to all types of education and training, as well as tuition reimbursement for those who wished to obtain a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Dubreuil passed away in 2017.
“We were looking for a way to honor Norm and help Maine residents with their educational needs,” said George Lapointe, Chairperson of the Maine State CU Board of Directors. “Norm was a supporter of education and was always helping people. He exemplified the credit union mission, and the Normand R. Dubreuil Scholarship Fund will build on his work.”
