“We at MCCCU are excited to bring someone of Steve’s caliber on board to lead the credit union,” Barry Kinsey, MCCCU board chair, said in a statement. “Steve has over 30 years of experience in credit unions and community banking.”

Grech’s selection was facilitated by Angott Search Group, an executive search firm based in Rochester, Mich.

Grech is a graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit.

MCCCU posted net income of about $495,000 in 2016, down from about $702,000 in the prior year.
