An area credit union is set to make a major leadership change.
UnitedOne Credit Union has announced that Chief Executive Officer Kim Rooney will be retiring in June after more than three decades with the company.
Rooney, who became CEO in 2009, will be succeeded by Amy Sonnemann, UnitedOne’s current Chief Lending Officer.
Since joining the organization in 1995, Rooney aided in the merger between Manitowoc Community Credit Union and First Superior Credit Union of Sheboygan and increased assets to $329 million last year.
On her upcoming departure, Rooney said, “Serving our members has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an incredible team and witnessing firsthand how a credit union can strengthen a community when people come together with purpose and heart.”
Sonnemann is a Manitowoc native who has been with UnitedOne for 29 years.
Excited for what the future will hold for her and the credit union, she said, “I’m honored to continue our mission of helping members achieve financial well-being and strengthening the communities we serve.”
