The Board of Directors of Heritage Credit Union wishes to announce the retirement of Chief Executive Officer Lorne Myhra. After more than 28 years as CEO of Heritage, Myhra has decided to retire on March 31.
Heritage Credit Union has been very successful under Myhra’s watch and has grown to more than $143 million in assets. He founded the very successful HG Insurance Agencies and in partnership with Creston Credit Union created Growth Financial Corp.
He also served as a director of Credit Union Central of B.C.
“The board, management and staff wish Lorne well and would like to thank him for his years of service and recognize his achievements at HCU,” said board chair Julie Morrison.
“Lorne leaves HCU larger and stronger than it was when he joined us. We are well positioned to continue serving member and community needs in the future.”
James Craig has been appointed interim CEO and the board has started the search for a new CEO, Morrison said. Craig recently retired from a successful career in the credit union sector and is a long-time resident of Castlegar.
He brings many years senior leadership experience in credit union operations and is recognized for his strong leadership and a commitment to credit union values.
