Bill Partin, president and chief executive of Sharonview Federal Credit Union in Indian Land, South Carolina, is set to retire.
The $1.8 billion-asset credit union announced that Partin, who has been at the helm since joining Sharonview in 2013, will step down at the end of the year.
“I am immensely proud of the team we have at Sharonview and for the business and culture — for our members and ourselves — that we have built. … I am grateful and humbled to have had the opportunity to lead the team and grow as a leader here,” Partin said in a press release Monday.
Sharonview was founded in 1955 by 20 employees of the Irving, Texas-based chemical manufacturing company Celanese, with roughly $11,000 of assets at the time. Under Partin’s leadership, membership grew from 65,000 to 107,000 and assets grew from $1 billion to $1.85 billion.
The credit union’s board of directors has formed a CEO search committee and enlisted the help of D. Hilton Associates to begin the search for Partin’s successor.
