ALPENA , Mich.—Alpena Community Credit Union long-serving CEO, Ann Boyk has retired, and a successor has been named.
The $33.8-million ACCU has selected Andrew Augustyn to lead the organization.
Boyk worked at the credit union for 47 years, and will remain on as executive advisor for one year.
“It started as a part-time position,” Boyk told the Alpena News. “I had graduated from high school in the fall. I had planned to go away to college and was going to be going into the medical field…I had to wait a year, so I was looking for work in the meantime, and I was told there was an offering at the credit union. So, as you can see, someone else had other plans for me.”
Boyk worked as a teller, loan officer, and assistant manager, before working part-time to raise a family, and was named CEO in 2017.
Looking back on what she called a rewarding career, Boyk told the Alpena News, “We want to make a difference in people’s lives. You have to take time to help them and teach them. It’s especially confusing if you’re not in the industry. There’s a lot of paperwork.”
Formerly Served As COO
Augustyn has been with the credit union for approximately one year and was previously chief operations officer.“Having Ann as a mentor has been instrumental to my growth,” Augustyn told the publication. “With the new role, I’m going to have many new challenges. I’ve been really excited to take it all on. It’s something new, something exciting, and I’m always ready for a challenge and very self-motivated to figure things out.”
