He replaces Sandra Vaughn, who has served as the credit union’s interim CEO since the second quarter of last year after the departure of former CEO Stefanie Rupert, according to Collins Community’s profile report filed with the NCUA. Before she was named interim CEO, Vaughn served as the credit union’s SVP of enterprise risk management, Collins Community’s 2022 annual report showed.

“We’re so excited to welcome Jason to Collins Community. We’re confident that his experience, willingness to pioneer innovative solutions and passion for driving strategic growth will lead our credit union into a strong future as we seek to aspire, ignite and achieve for the benefit of our members and communities,” Collins Community Board Chair Marsha Schulte said in a prepared statement.

MacDonald joins Collins Community from the $4.1 billion Keesler Federal Credit Union in Biloxi, Miss., where he served as its chief information, strategy and people officer, according to Collins Community’s prepared statement. He also served as SVP of information technology at the $2.4 billion Magnifi Financial Credit Union in Melrose, Minn., and as director of information technology at the Pinnacle Financial Group, his LinkedIn page showed.
