Gerri Sexsion, president and CEO of Jax Federal Credit Union in Jacksonville, Fla., plans to retire in the first quarter.
DDJ Myers, an executive search firm, will conduct a nationwide search for Sexsion’s successor, Jax FCU said on Thursday in a press release. The search process should take four to six months.
Sexsion has served as the president and CEO of Jax FCU since 1997. During her tenure, the credit union’s assets more than doubled from $165 million to the $394 million, while members have grown to more than 35,000.
“Serving as Jax Federal Credit Union’s president and CEO has been an incredible 21-year journey,” Sexsion said in a press release. “It is my sincere hope that during my tenure, Jax Federal Credit Union has helped our members move a little closer to achieving their financial hopes and dreams.”
Sexsion’s retirement was announced during the credit union’s annual member meeting on Tuesday. The meeting was attended by approximately 200 members, staff and volunteers. Charles McLeod Jr. and C. Eugene Worth also retained their seats on the credit union’s board.
