North Coast Credit Union, a $224 million-asset institution based in Bellingham, Wash., has appointed Marilyn Brink as its new president and chief executive officer, effective immediately.
Brink succeeds Terry Belcoe, who died in late September.
"Marilyn began her career with North Coast 14 years ago as chief financial officer and quickly became responsible for branch and lending operations," said Randall J. Watts, chair of North Coast CU's board of directors in a statement. "Marilyn's collaborative management style and open-door policy has earned her the respect and admiration of her staff. Under her leadership North Coast has become and will remain a service- driven organization devoted to North Coast members."
Brink will oversee the credit union's five branches in Whatcom and Skagit counties. The credit union serves more than 17,000 members. According to Call Report data, North Coast has more than $154 million in loans and leases on the books, concentrated primarily in auto lending and mortgages. It earned a net income of just under $1 million for the first three quarters of 2016 and $1.3 million in 2015.
