The $455 million Revity Credit Union, headquartered just outside of St. Louis in Granite City, Ill., has started to search for a successor after its President/CEO Keith Burton announced he will retire at the end of 2024.
Burton has led Revity since 2013 and has been with the credit union for 38 years, serving in various positions such as EVP, assistant manager, lending manager and collections manager.
In a statement released Monday announcing Burton's upcoming retirement, officials at Revity said they have already launched the search for Revity's next CEO with help from executive search firm DDJ Myers.
Revity Search Committee Chair, Jim Devine said, "We'd like to recognize Keith's service and dedication to always putting Revity's members first. As our CEO since 2013, he's been responsible for all aspects of the credit union's operations and financial performance, ushering in a new era of growth while developing innovative solutions to help us serve as a beacon for continuous revitalization."
In Monday's statement, Deedee Myers, founder/CEO of DDJ Myers added, "Revity's Board will be completing a comprehensive search process to identify an appropriate successor. As facilitator, we work very closely with the Board to thoroughly evaluate both internal and external candidates and find the best fit possible."
According to the NCUA, Revity has eight branches serving more than 36,000 members.
