John “Bernie” Winne, the president and CEO of Boston Firefighters Credit Union in Dorchester, Massachusetts, plans to retire next year.
Winne spent 40 years in the credit union industry, with the last 20 at the helm of the $394 million-asset BFCU.
The credit union has retained the firm Smith and Wilkinson to conduct the search for its new CEO, the company said in a press release. It expects to have a new leader in place by late May.
Before being named president and CEO for Boston Firefighters, Winne, who is retiring at the end of June, held a variety of roles in the industry, including executive vice president at Members Plus Credit Union.
“Bernie has been a great leader not only at BFCU, but in the credit union industry during his entire tenure as CEO. He has been a tremendous asset to BFCU during his 20 years, and we are thankful for everything he has done,” Dan Magoon, the credit union's chairman, said in a press release.
Boston Firefighters Credit Union earned $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2021, an 11% increase from a year earlier, according to call report data from the National Credit Union Administration.
