ROYAL OAK, Mich.–After 38 years of service to OUR Credit Union, CEO Tina Dix has announced plans to retire effective in July of 2022.
Dix began with what was then St. Dennis Parish Credit Union before it expanded its FOM and became Royal Oak Community Credit Union, and then changed its branding to the current OUR Credit Union.
The $365.2-million OUR Credit Union has approximately 22,500 members.
“Tina has been an exceptional leader for OUR Credit Union. She has been the heart of this organization, building a team and executing a strategy that has helped us thrive,” said Board Chairman Brian J. Cook. “We are grateful for the leadership Tina has given and know that her legacy will be the continued success of this credit union and this team well into the future.”
Dix began her career as a teller/MSR/loan officer in 1983, and also served as VP-operations/branch services and, prior to being named CEO, as executive vice president. She also served on the Oakland County Chapter of Credit Unions as an executive board member/treasurer from 2006-2021.
‘Strong Track Record’
In a statement announcing her retirement, the credit union said Dix has a “strong track record of guiding and leading teams, improving efficiencies and processes for increasing profitability and service to members/customers, development and implementation of organizational alignments and departmental changes ensuring maximum accuracy and quality, and development of new programs and products/services for maintaining and improving the credit unions competitive edge.”
“OUR Credit Union has been a home and a family to me for decades,” said Dix. “I am so grateful to the board, the members, and the team who have been partners to me in this journey. As I look toward my own retirement, I am excited to see what will come next for OUR Credit Union. It is a special place because of the people who are part of it. I look forward to seeing how OUR members will benefit from the credit union’s growth, and OUR Credit Union’s ongoing commitment to making a difference in our lives of our members and our community.”
The board has retained Humanidei + O’Rourke to lead the search for the new CEO.
