FORT MILL, S.C.-Sharonview FCU said John Carlson, its president and CEO the past 14 years, is retiring from the $1-billion credit union.
Carlson came to Sharonview from Truliant FCU in 1999, when the credit union sponsored by 20 manufacturing companies had just $285 million in assets. He had served as senior vice president of Truliant, in nearby Winston-Salem, N.C., from 1990.
The credit union has launched a nationwide search for a successor.
Meanwhile, in Baltimore, St. Agnes FCU has named James Whipp, Jr., a senior vice president of member services at Freedom FCU in nearby Bel Air, Md., as president and CEO of the $46-million credit union.
Whipp succeeds Margaret Burdette, who retired.
At Freedom FCU, Whipp was responsible for operations and sales production for branches, the inbound/outbound call center, and the training department, as well as budgetary responsibility. Prior to that, he held branch management positions of increasing responsibility at Provident Bank.
Whipp is a Baltimore native.
