West Community CU in Missouri to Promote Peach to CEO

O'FALLON, Mo. — West Community Credit Union has named a new chief executive to succeed its longtime, retiring CEO.

The $169 million-asset CU will promote Jason Peach to president and CEO, effective in January. Peach is currently the institution's chief financial officer and has worked for West Community since 1997.

Peach will replace Gary Hinrichs, who the CU announced this summer will be retiring after 41 years of service. Hinrichs has been West Community's CEO since 1974, when it was called Brentwood Mutual Credit Union. At the time, Hinrichs was still in college and the credit union had only two employees.

West Community has about 19,000 members and operates four branches in Missouri.
