Dave Bretz, chief financial officer of Heartland Credit Union, will retire from his position effective May 1, after more than 33 years of service to the organization.
Bretz joined the HCU Board of Directors in February 1991 and served on the board until June 1998. Following his tenure on the board, Bretz was hired at the credit union as chief financial officer.
Under Bretz’s leadership, HCU has
grown from $72 million to $462 million in assets.
“On behalf of the board and
Heartland Credit Union’s management team, I want to thank Dave for his many
contributions over the last 33 years,” said Tom Lex, HCU president and chief executive officer. “He has helped guide the credit union in its growth, and
through volatile times, while maintaining financial integrity and providing
steadfast leadership. We wish him well as he enters the next exciting phase of
his life.”
“I am proud of the work we have
accomplished together during my time at Heartland Credit Union,” said Bretz,
who indicated that he and his wife Michele plan to spend more time with their
three daughters and their grandchildren.
Elana Fiscus will be assuming the position of chief financial officer. “We are confident that Elana will
continue to lead the credit union with the vision of growth and continued
success,” Lex said.
