The $4.9 billion Ent Credit Union in Colorado Springs, Colo., announced Randy Bernstein (pictured), president/CEO, will retire in October following a 20-year career with the credit union. Bernstein served as president and COO from 2011 to 2014, and was named president/CEO in 2014. During his tenure as CEO, assets and membership at the credit union grew by more than 19%, with Ent reaching more than $4.9 billion in assets and more than 289,000 in membership. Chad Graves, Ent's current senior EVP of operations and technology, will succeed Bernstein as CEO. Graves has been a member of Ent's leadership team since 2003 and has been instrumental in identifying, designing and implementing the emerging technologies that have helped Ent continue to better serve its member-owners.
