LOWELL, Mass. — After 17 years serving as Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union's President/CEO, Paul R. Mayotte has announced he plans to retire in December.

“Announcing my retirement is bittersweet,” said Mayotte. “I have enjoyed my many years with my JDCU family and will miss them all dearly. On the other hand, I've worked hard and I am looking forward to spending quality time with my family as I enter my golden years. I've had the pleasure of watching the credit union grow in leaps and bounds while never losing sight of the importance of our members.”

With over 30 years of credit union industry experience, Mayotte joined JDCU in April 1983 as an assistant treasurer and was appointed to his current position in 1990.

Under Mayotte's leadership JDCU has grown from a $172 million credit union serving 18,581 members, to becoming a $610 million credit union with membership exceeding 45,000.

An executive search is currently underway for Mayotte's replacement.
