PASADENA, Calif. — After over 36 years in the credit union industry, Pasadena Service Federal Credit Union CEO Charlene Bowman is retiring effective Dec. 31, 2008.

Since joining the credit union in 1985, Bowman has helped the credit union triple in assets to over $72 million while maintaining a strong capital ratio. Under her leadership, Pasadena Service FCU has formed many partnerships within Pasadena establishing its reputation as a local resource for organizations and schools in the community.

Not wanting to cut all ties with the industry, Bowman's post retirement plans include serving as a credit union volunteer and teaching college business courses to aspiring young leaders. She says a little traveling and time with friends and family is also on the horizon.
