Chief Executive Officer

We share a common thread!
Our roots run deep. As our communities evolve, our commitment to them stays strong. At Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union (Jeanne D’Arc), we continue to serve the legacy, mission, and vision of our founders, striving every day to help people within our communities from all walks of life make smart financial choices. Founded in 1912, Jeanne D’Arc began as an establishment where immigrants working in the Lowell mills could turn for their financial needs. As the third oldest credit union in the country, we have assisted generations of members in achieving financial stability. Our common thread is caring for the communities we serve and empowering the people who call these communities home.

Jeanne D’Arc started as “the little bank around the corner” and has grown to over $2 billion in assets while guiding members in purchasing homes and cars and even starting their own businesses. Now, Jeanne D’Arc is searching for its next Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to continue its mission to help members make smart financial choices and continue the credit union’s legacy into the future. The optimal CEO candidate is a strategic visionary committed to advancing and fostering a positive organizational culture and cooperative values.
