The $4.5 billion Delta Community Credit Union in Atlanta said it has hired Eve Nimkar as its new vice president of marketing.

Nimkar succeeds the retired Mary Olson in the position at Georgia's largest credit union and most recently was first vice president of credit card services for SunTrust Banks, her new employer said.

Her more than 20 years of marketing and public relations experience also includes stints at NetBank, Chase and Fiserv, Delta Community said. She has a master's degree in journalism and mass communications from the University of Georgia and a bachelor's degree in business and marketing from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla.

 “Eve brings a great blend of passion and experience to our team,” said Matthew Shepherd, the executive vice president and chief operating officer at the 282,500-member Delta Community.

“We know she can help us articulate the difference Delta Community stands for in a way that allows us to deepen our relationship with existing members and furthers our reputation as Atlanta's best place to bank,' Shepherd said in the credit union's announcement.

Delta Community now serves the entire metro Atlanta area, including residents of the 11 surrounding counties and employees of major businesses such as Delta Air Lines, Chick-fil-A, UPS and Racetrac.
