MOUNT VERNON, Ohio–CES Credit Union has named a new president and CEO to succeed the retiring Sandy Coffing, who spent more than 30 years with the CU.
The $232-million credit union has selected Mike Copley to led the organization. Copley has been a key leader at CES for more than a decade, the CU said, most recently serving as COO.
“With Mike’s experience, steady leadership, and strong connection to the CES team and community, the organization is well-positioned for its next phase of growth and service,” CES CU said in a statement.
Since joining CES Credit Union in 2011, the organization said Copley has taken on increasing leadership responsibilities across the organization. As COO, he oversaw daily operations, branch performance, member experience, compliance, and organizational initiatives. Before stepping into that role, he served as service center manager, “building strong member relationships and supporting teams through ongoing growth and change.”
‘Very Dedicated’
Prior to joining CES, Copley worked in community banking, gaining experience in operations, financial management, compliance, and customer service.
“Having worked with Mike over the years, we have known him to be very dedicated to CES and brings a wealth of knowledge to the position,” Chair Jeff Wells said in a statement. “We look forward to working with him for the continued success of our credit union for many years to come.”
Copley holds bachelor’s degrees in Accounting and Business Administration from Muskingum University, is a Certified Credit Union Executive through CUNA, and is a graduate of Leadership Knox and Leadership Delaware.
An ‘Honor’
“It is the honor of a lifetime to lead CES Credit Union into the future as its next president and CEO,” Copley said in a statement. “Since joining CES in 2011, I have witnessed firsthand the credit union’s unwavering dedication to our members and the communities we serve. I am deeply grateful to our board of directors for their trust and confidence in me to continue advancing that mission. The care our team shows for our members, and for one another, is what truly makes CES special. Together, we will build on our strong foundation, live out the philosophy of people helping pPeople, and achieve great things for those who place their trust in us.”
