State Department Federal Credit Union (SDFCU) is announcing that effective this summer, Jan N. Roche will retire from her position as Chief Executive Officer. “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to share our appreciation for Jan’s twenty years of dedicated service to SDFCU. Through her leadership, SDFCU has delivered products and services to improve the financial well-being of the membership,” commented Marlene Schwartz, SDFCU Chairman of the Board.
Since Ms. Roche was appointed CEO in 2003, SDFCU assets have grown from just over $700 million to its current $2.8 billion. “I am honored to have led SDFCU as its CEO and am grateful for the many opportunities and experiences I’ve had throughout my career. Visiting U.S. Embassies to provide financial education and gain feedback from our overseas members has been one of many highlights,” says Ms. Roche. “I can’t believe how quickly this time has flown by. A constant state of improvement means a fast pace and never a dull moment.”
The Board of Directors has partnered with Humanidei to conduct a national executive search for Jan’s successor. Humanidei is a comprehensive people operations firm exclusively serving the credit union industry.
