The Spokesman-Review stated STCU gave no indication whether Eckhardt’s departure was his decision, if it came from the credit union’s board or was a mutual decision.

Eckhardt led the credit union since Jan. 1, 2018.

Reached by phone by the news outlet, STCU spokesman Dan Hansen declined to answer questions, saying only that “everything is in the news release,” the Spokesman-Review said.

Hansen said Eckhardt’s decision would not change anything regarding the institution that was founded in 1934 and has about 300,000 members with 49 branches in Eastern Washington, North Idaho and eastern Oregon.

“What I can tell you is that this in no way represents a shift in STCU. We have been remarkably stable for 91 years,” Hansen told the Spokesman-Review. “We remain so.”
