His successor will be Kevin Wilmoth, who currently serves as SVP/COO for the Wichita, Kan.-based credit union, Holly Dixon, Skyward's board chair, said.
Prior to serving as CEO, Damm was a volunteer on the board. He also served on the cooperative's supervisory committee for 17 years.

"I am proud to have served those in the general aviation community with the great products and services of Skyward Credit Union," Damm said. "I will be leaving the credit union in good hands with Kevin and his staff. He has earned the confidence of our board and members."
Wilmoth served in various positions in lending and operations over his 19-year career with the credit union.

"We thank Larry for his many years of service as a volunteer, as our president and as a leader in the Kansas credit union industry," Dixon said.

We are confident that he will continue the path of excellence achieved by Skyward Credit Union."
