WORCESTER, Mass.– Worcester Credit Union said it has named Lucas Miller to serve as interim president & CEO, succeeding Lisa Perrin, who will be leaving the $99.5-milion credit union later this month.
Miller has worked in the financial sector for over 20 years, including leadership roles in community banking, national nonprofit consumer advocacy, and mortgage lending. After most recently serving as EVP and general counsel for Bay State Savings Bank, the credit union said Miller devoted time to assisting with the formation of a nonprofit aimed at promoting effective standards for substance addiction recovery services.
He also served on the finance committee at Habitat for Humanity of Central Massachusetts and has assisted numerous other nonprofits alongside representing individuals as a pro bono attorney.
Gratitude Expressed
“I want to express my gratitude to the full board of directors and the team of incredible employees of Worcester Credit Union,” said Perrin in a statement. “These last five years have exceeded my expectations. When I look back at the vision we all shared upon me accepting this position, I am incredibly proud of all we have accomplished- together, in very short order. The experiences and opportunities during my time here have been invaluable to me, personally as well as professionally.
“Change is hard, but it is also the foundation of continued growth. As I embark onto a new chapter, know that working with you all has been an honor and I am forever grateful and proud of the experiences our collaboration has provided,” Perrin continued. “I’m confident that Worcester Credit Union will continue successfully and seamlessly through this transition with great success. I wish you all the best.”
‘Extremely Thankful’
Added Chair Robert J. Hennigan, Jr., “We are extremely thankful for Lisa’s commitment, leadership and unrelenting service to Worcester Credit Union. Lisa invested her heart and soul into Worcester Credit Union and its mission and vision; revitalizing, building and guiding a collaborative team that champions member satisfaction and commitment to the communities we serve. We will all miss Lisa and wish her the absolute best and continued success in her next role. At the same time, we are excited to be working with Lucas during this transition and to continue doing what we do best – assisting the members and our communities we serve in “reaching financial success together.”
