CORINTH, Texas—DATCU CEO Glen McKenzie will retire from the $1.6-billion organization in June, the credit union announced.
McKenzie, who has worked at DATCU for 24 years and the last eight as CEO, will be succeeded by Melanie Vest. She will become the credit union's first female president and CEO, the organization said.
“When I became CEO, DATCU was in a strong position, and I have always told myself I will be able to retire when I felt that I could not do anymore to improve the credit union," McKenzie said. "We’ve accomplished that and now it is time for Melanie and her team to take DATCU to a new level.”
Vest brings more than two decades of experience at DATCU to her new position.
“I began as a teller while I was a student at the University of North Texas,” said Vest. “I am deeply invested in DATCU’s history and future, and I know that our path forward will be to continue serving our community while making it a better place to live.”
