MINNEAPOLIS—After 39 years in credit unions, Kent Greff, CEO of Mill City Credit Union, is retiring at year end.
The retirement coincides with the merger of Mill City into City & County Credit Union effective Jan. 1, 2019.
Greff has served as CEO of Mill City CU since 2000, and has overseen growth to $350 million in assets from $72 million.
Joining the CU community in 1979, Greff worked at four different CUs in North and South Dakota, in addition to Minnesota, as well as with CUs in Paraguay and Poland. He also chaired the Minnesota league board, and served on CUNA Mutual’s National Policy Owner Council.
During his career Greff received the Distinguished Leadership Award from the Minnesota Credit Union League, was named Minnesota CU Network Professional of the Year two times, was inducted into the National Credit Union Hall of Leaders in 2017, and was named a Minnesota Credit Union Foundation CU Builder in 2018.
Collaboration in Poland
“One of the experiences that Kent loved was his involvement in Poland in collaboration with Mayo Employees CU and the World Council of Credit Unions,” said Mill City CU in a statement. “This initiative helped launch the Institute of Cardiology CU in Warsaw. The time he spent with the medical personnel (and their families) who started the credit union was very special. Two of the men he worked alongside have gone on to serve the government in Poland as members of the Polish Sejm.”
In lieu of a party, Greff said he would appreciate receiving a note from those whose path he has crossed. Please mail your note by Jan. 15, 2019, to Kent Greff, c/o Mill City, 10653 Wayzata Blvd. Minnetonka, MN 55305
On Jan. 3, Mill City will begin operating as a division of City & County Credit Union.
