EUGENE, Ore.–Mandy Jones, CEO of Oregon Community Credit Union here has announced plans to retire in April, and a successor has been named.
The $1.7-billion Oregon Community has named EVP Ron Neumann to succeed Jones following her retirement. Jones has led the credit union for 12 years, having overseen growth from $730 million in assets.
“In the time Mandy has led OCCU, the credit union has more than doubled in size, which has enabled OCCU to offer excellent products and services to our members,” Board Chair Beverly Anderson said in the statement. “Every decision Mandy makes starts with two questions: ‘What is best for the members?’ and ‘What is the right thing to do?’ Her personal commitment to our members and our communities is reflected throughout the organization.”
Anderson added that in seeking a new CEO, “We envisioned OCCU in 2025 and asked ourselves what skills and qualities would be needed to achieve that vision. Then we watched Ron demonstrate his leadership abilities. It became increasingly clear that he had exactly what we needed. Ron has the vision, talent, enthusiasm and leadership to take OCCU into the future.”
Oregon Community serves 147,000 members.
