Evergreen Credit Union, a $258 million institution based in Portland, Maine, has named Jason Lindstrom as its new president and CEO, succeeding interim CEO Tim Verreault.
The new CEO recently served as the chief marketing officer for Belvoir Federal Credit Union, prior to its merger earlier this year with the $20.7 billion-asset Pentagon Federal Credit Union of Alexandria, Va., where he served as a director.
Lindstrom's credit union career started in California, where he worked with Nuvision Federal Credit Union ($1.4 billion in assets, based in Huntington Beach); Orange County's Credit Union ($1.4 billion, Santa Ana) and SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union ($12.7 billion, Santa Ana), before moving to Belvoir FCU in 2010.
Christopher Doe, chair of Evergreen CU's board of directors, credited Lindstrom's extensive background in the credit union industry, including positions in lending, business development, product development, branch operations, marketing, political advocacy and governmental affairs.
"[Lindstrom's] wealth of knowledge and diverse background in credit union operations, lending, and marketing will be a tremendous asset to our members and employees," Doe said in a statement.
