ARNOLD, Mo.–Arsenal Credit Union has named a new president and CEO to succeed the retiring Linda Allen.
The $431.6-million Arsenal has selected Richard Preble to lead the organization, effective Sept. 29. Preble was previously with Black Hills Credit Union in South Dakota, where he served as chief experience officer.
“What stood out to us about Richard was not only his impressive leadership experience, but also his forward-looking vision for the future of Arsenal Credit Union,” Chairman Gary Dierks said in a statement. “Richard believes deeply in the power of teams, the importance of listening and the idea that when we work together with purpose, there are no limits to what can be achieved. We believe that, based on his experience, values, and background of success at other credit unions, he is the best fit for Arsenal Credit Union to lead us into the future at this time.”
Honored to Join
“I am honored to join Arsenal Credit Union; its heritage and tradition has been about people helping people since 1948,” Preble said in a statement. “I look forward to serving our members and the greater St. Louis area and building on the Arsenal traditions.”
Allen is retiring from the 30,000-member credit union after 31 years. The search was handled by Cornerstone.
