MANITOWOC, Wis. — UnitedOne Credit Union is preparing for a leadership transition, with longtime CEO Kim Rooney set to retire in June after more than 30 years with the organization, according to Seehafer News.
Rooney, who has served as CEO since 2009, will be succeeded by Amy Sonnemann, the credit union’s current chief lending officer. Sonnemann is a Manitowoc native and has spent 29 years with UnitedOne.
During Rooney’s tenure, UnitedOne completed the merger of Manitowoc Community Credit Union and First Superior Credit Union of Sheboygan and grew total assets to approximately $329 million last year. Rooney joined the organization in 1995 and has led the institution through more than a decade of expansion and consolidation, Seehafer News noted.
“Serving our members has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Rooney said. “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an incredible team and witnessing firsthand how a credit union can strengthen a community when people come together with purpose and heart.”
Sonnemann said she is looking forward to leading the organization into its next chapter.
“I’m honored to continue our mission of helping members achieve financial well-being and strengthening the communities we serve,” she said in the Seehafer News report.
