Alaska USA Federal Credit Union has appointed a new Chairman of the Board, Kent Berthiaume. Berthiaume succeeds Bobby Alexander, who recently stepped down as chairman of the board after serving on the board of directors since 1996 and as chairman since 2001.
“Alaska USA will be forever grateful for the impact and legacy that Bobby Alexander has left on our organization and the credit union industry. We are pleased for Kent Berthiaume to assume the role of chairman of the board and the wealth of knowledge and connection to the military that he will bring,” said Alaska USA Federal Credit Union President and CEO Geoff Lundfelt.
As Chairman of the Board, Berthiaume will be responsible for providing direction and leadership for the board of directors while serving as a liaison for the executive management and the board.
“Having been an Alaska USA member since 1995, I’ve seen firsthand how members are provided outstanding service and treated with respect. As the board chair, I assure Alaska USA will always treat members and staff with the dignity and respect everyone deserves and facilitate financial stability and growth for a strong future of the institution,” said Alaska USA Board Chair Kent Berthiaume.
Berthiaume was nominated to the role of chairman of the board at the June 9 board meeting.
