Ask Loretta Burd what she will do in retirement, and she'll laugh as she announces she indeed has a bucket list.
Burd will leave Centra Credit Union in Columbus, Ind., Dec. 31 after 47 years, including serving as president/CEO since 1987. After she first hired on in what she describes as "an administrative-type job, a clerical position," she found herself tackling a wide range of responsibilities–and that, she said, proved to be valuable experience.
"When I think about the credit union back in 1965, we were relatively small, about $4.5 million," Burd recalled. "You ended up doing a little bit of everything. That was excellent exposure because in this day and age when you get larger, positions are much more specialized and you don't have that same opportunity. I did teller work, accounting, loan work, so I really got the exposure to the operation when it was much smaller."
