Doug Fagan was named president as Sundie Seefried, who will remain CEO, spends more time on the credit union's cannabis banking division.

Luis A. Reyes Jr. takes over for the Rev. Arnold O. Pierson, who served as president since the institution opened in June 2016.

A successor to Robert Allen, who has led the $7.3 billion-asset institution for more than three decades, should be named soon.
