After over 22 years of leadership, El Paso Employees Federal Credit Union President/CEO Ray Ponteri will be retiring effective Jan. 4, 2010.
The board has tapped Executive Vice President Kenneth Walters as the new president/CEO. Prior to joining EPEFCU in 2007, Walters served as CEO of Chino Federal Credit Union in Silver City, New Mexico.
During Ponteri's tenure, the El Paso, Texas-based credit union has grown from $20 million in assets to over $275 million, serving some 48,000 members with eight branch locations. Equally active in the credit union industry, he served 10 years as a director for the Texas Credit Union League and held various positions on several committees at CU Resources Inc. He was also part of the 2000 CUNA Renaissance Commission.
While working on improving his golf game, Ponteri's post- retirement plans include staying in El Paso and hopefully being involved with the credit union in some capacity.
