NEW ORLEANS–Riverland FCU has named a new president and CEO to succeed the retiring Carol Irby, who has lead the organization since 1985.
The $310-million RFCU has selected George Lunsford as its new leader effective Jan. 1, 2023. Lunsford has served as RFCU’s vice president of information technology for more than 13 years.
“I am honored to be selected as the next CEO of RiverLand FCU,” said Lunsford. “It’s been a pleasure to lead the digital evolution of the credit union, helping to launch the first mobile app as well as digitize many of our other services and processes. Carol Irby has been a fantastic boss and mentor. I look forward to taking the baton and collaborating with the board to guide the credit union into the future, continuing our mission to serve our membership. It's truly wonderful to work for an organization that puts people first – both members and employees - and exists for people, not profit."
Lunsford is a native New Orleanian and received both his bachelor’s degree in computer science and his master’s degree in business administration from the University of New Orleans.
‘Proud of Our Growth’
“My 37-year journey with RFCU has been an incredible one – I’m proud of our growth and accomplishments and humbled to work with such a talented team,” said Irby. “RFCU’s focus is always on our members and that will never change. George’s proven leadership will make the transition seamless as he has experience collaborating with every department, understands the importance of embracing technology, and embodies our values of putting members first,” says Irby.
DDJ Myers, which recently became a unit of ALM First, handled the search.
