St. Mary's Credit Union has named longtime executive Jim Petkewich as president/CEO as part of a broader leadership transition aimed at positioning the Massachusetts institution for continued growth.
Petkewich succeeds Grace Lee, who will depart July 1 but remain involved through the completion of St. Mary's previously announced merger with MetroWest Community Federal Credit Union. He most recently served as executive vice president and chief operating officer and has spent more than 20 years with the organization.
Board leaders said Petkewich's operational experience and familiarity with the institution made him the right choice during a period of transition and expansion.
The credit union also announced that Brian Bouvier was elected chairman of the board following the organization's April annual meeting. Bouvier succeeds Gerard P. Richer, who served as board chairman for 31 years and will remain on the board.
Founded in 1913, St. Mary's Credit Union has more than $1 billion in assets and serves approximately 55,850 members across MetroWest Massachusetts. The institution said no immediate operational or strategic changes are planned as leadership transitions take effect and merger efforts continue.
