MANISTEE, Mich. — Filer Credit Union has named a new president and CEO.
The $216-million FCU said it has selected Kyle Gurzynski to lead the organization effective April 25, succeeding Patty Preuss, who will be retiring after 28 years.
Gurzynski was previously executive VP with Safe Harbor Credit Union, where he oversaw branch operations, marketing, financial education outreach, asset liability management, human resources and community partnerships.
Gurzynski comes to Filer Credit Union with more than 10 years of experience in financial services, and holds a double major from Calvin University in business finance and economics. He is a 2018 graduate from CUNA Management School, and is also president of the Michigan Credit Union Foundation and serves on many other boards and committees.
“Even though there is a transition in leadership, we are still going to provide the best member service in the industry and hope to bring new and innovative products and services to our membership,” Gurzynski said in a released statement. “We will continue to live the credit union mission everyday of people helping people as we grow this credit union in our communities together.”
‘Honored to Serve’
Added Preuss, “I am honored to have been able to serve our membership for the past 28 years. I have worked with great people and am proud of what we have accomplished at the credit union. Our board did a great job selecting Kyle as the next CEO. I’m confident our credit union will do well in the future. I will miss the employees, our board, our committees, and of course our members, and I wish them all the best.”
