Capital Credit Union in Wisconsin names new CEO

Capital Credit Union in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has named Laurie Butz as its new president and CEO.

The $2.1 billion-asset credit union announced Thursday that Butz, a senior vice president at Community First Credit Union in Appleton, Wisconsin, will take the helm in early November. Its current president and CEO, Tom Young, will stay on to advise Butz during the transition period until his retirement at the end of this year.

“We are excited to welcome Laurie to the Capital Credit Union family,” Board Chair Steve Frassetto said in a press release. “She will be a fantastic asset to the credit union, and her background and knowledge will be invaluable to the future growth of our organization.”

As senior vice president at the $4.6 billion-asset Community First, Butz oversaw business development, investments and insurance services, as well as the credit union’s sponsorship of the Community First Fox Cities marathon.

“I’m looking forward to meeting the Capital Credit Union team, the members and the community at large in the coming months as we forge ahead in living out the organization’s mission,” Butz said in the release. “Serving our members, being stewards of the community and being passionate about the credit union industry align with my focus on caring for employees and our friends, families and neighbors in Northeast Wisconsin.”
