The MEM Federal Credit Union was chartered in 1935 and was primarily sponsored by the Department of Interior's U.S. Bureau of Mines Pittsburgh Research Center, the Department of Energy's Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (DOE), and Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). In the 1970's the Bureau of Mines, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and MEM Federal Credit Union relocated to the Bruceton Research Center in South Park. In 1996 the Bureau of Mines became the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Our current Board Chairman is Bill Obricki, and the President of the Credit Union is Tim Irons.
