Interior Savings Credit Union is looking for a new head honcho, as president and CEO Kathy Conway is leaving her role next month.

Conway has spent 10 years in the role and 20 years with the company. She will officially depart on March 19.

“We cannot thank Kathy enough for her dedication and passion as she has helped lead our credit union through phenomenal growth and industry change, all while holding steadfast to our purpose of making a positive difference in our members’ lives and in our communities,” Interior Savings board chair Rob Shirra said in a press release.

“We are grateful to Kathy for her bold leadership and dedication to providing a different kind of banking that puts people at the center of everything we do. We wish her continued health and happiness in her retirement.”

Conway joined Interior Savings as its chief financial officer in 2002, and she became president and CEO in March 2012. Under her watch, Interior Savings has grown 49%, from $3.9 billion in funds under administration in 2012 to more than $5.8 billion today.

She also oversaw the implementation of the company’s Day of Difference, when it would close all branches early and send 500 employees out into the community to volunteer, and this year’s merger with Spruce Credit Union in Prince George.
