STURGIS, S.D.—The $165-million Northern Hills Federal Credit Union has named Misty Winter CEO, the CU reported.
Winter succeeds long-time CEO Floyd Rummel III.
Previously, Winter was the credit unions executive vice president
"Succession planning requires careful consideration," said Rummel, who spent 11 of his 40-year career in financial services as NHFCU CEO. "It all begins and ends with our members. We needed to find a leader with 'boots on the ground' experience, preferably in our communities, to ensure the emphasis on our members remains. Next, we wanted an individual who could continuously bolster the culture we've been building. Lastly, we sought a candidate with the foresight to expand the credit union to serve all of South Dakota. Misty checked all the boxes and then some."
