Credit unions in Rhode Island, Texas and Ohio have named new CEOs.

The $441 million Greenwood Credit Union in Warwick, R.I., appointed Frederick Reinhardt its president/CEO.

He succeeds Jim Irving, who is retiring after 11 years of service.

Reinhardt, with 30 years of senior banking experience, recently worked as chief lending officer at the $1.7 billion Navigant Credit Union in Smithfield, R.I, a position he held since 2004.

He also served as SVP of Fleet National Bank’s Precious Metals Group and was a vice president in the commercial real estate and retail banking groups for Old Stone Bank.

In Wichita Falls, Texas, the $119 million Texoma Community Credit Union named John Buckley president/CEO effective Jan. 2.

Buckley succeeds Wayne Mansur, who will retire from credit union after 22 years of service. Mansur’s career in the cooperative movement began in 1982 at the $2.4 billion GECU in El Paso, Texas.

Before joining Texoma Community in 2014 as its COO, Buckley served as president/CEO at Postel Family Credit Union, also based in Wichita Falls, where he worked for nearly 20 years. During his tenure, he grew the credit union from $7.5 million in assets to nearly $70 million in assets and oversaw two separate mergers.

Jennifer Borowy was appointed president/CEO of the $88 million Buckeye State Credit Union in Akron, Ohio in October.

She replaced Francis Odhiambo who left the credit union last month.

Borowy joined Buckeye State CU in January as its SVP of retail sales and marketing where she focused on the credit union’s sales, service and organizational strategies that drove profitable results.

She previously held several positions at PNC and served as a vice president and branch manager for the bank before joining Buckeye State CU.
