Northwest Federal Credit Union's board has promoted Jeff Bentley (pictured) to president/CEO, replacing Chris McDonald who left unannounced earlier this year.

Bentley, who has been serving as interim CEO for several months, was previously SVP of lending and chief lending officer, roles he has held since joining the credit union in 2014. Northwest FCU was the 57th-largest credit union in the nation in March based on assets.

Bentley introduced an indirect automotive lending program, "resulting in significant strategic growth for the credit union, as well as the Community Partners program, which has extended Northwest Federal's philanthropic activities in the community. Under his leadership Northwest Federal has grown its mortgage lending program to a multi-state operation," a credit union news release said.
