Christina O’Brien has worked at the Warner Robins, Ga.-based credit union for almost 30 years in a variety of roles.

Mesaba, which is also based in Minnesota, is the parent of American Bank of the North and Lake Bank.

Southwest Bancshares in San Antonio will have assets of $1.5 billion when it absorbs two affiliated banking companies in nearby cities.
