Due to the ever-changing landscape of the financial services market, the Board of Directors and management of both credit unions thought this was the best path to continue meeting the financial needs of our members. Together, our organizations will continue to grow and evolve, helping us market to our community, implement new technologies and provide operational and administrative guidance. This support will ultimately translate into a deeper product and service mix for our membership.
This merger also marks the start of a new chapter for Shirley Cate, PFCU President and CEO, as she will be retiring upon completion of the merger. Congratulations, Shirley!
Larry Ellifritz, President and CEO of CCCU, will become the President and CEO of the combined organization.
This is a very positive event for both our credit unions, and our Board and management teams are excited to watch the evolution of the new combined organization.
