Financial Center First Credit Union announced today the planned retirement of President and CEO Cameron Minges, effective December 31, 2025. As part of a smooth leadership transition, the Board of Directors has appointed former CEO Kevin Ryan to serve as Interim President and CEO beginning August 11, 2025, while a national search for the next CEO is conducted.
Minges, who has been with the organization for the last 12 years, has led the organization since 2022. He will continue to support the credit union in a strategic consulting role through the end of 2025. During his three-year CEO tenure, Minges’ visionary approach resulted in modernization initiatives that expanded the credit union’s infrastructure and focused on creating better, faster, and easier member experiences. Under his leadership, Financial Center launched a state-of-the-art digital banking platform, introduced a full suite of traditional mortgage products, opened two new branches in Hamilton County and Hancock County, and successfully completed mergers with the Muncie Post Office Credit Union and Indianapolis Post Office Credit Union. These strategic moves helped position the credit union for future growth while enhancing access and value for its members.
During this period of transformation, the credit union also saw 12.64% asset growth, 18.69% capital growth, strengthened its commitment to financial inclusion, deepened its roots in the communities it serves, and nurtured a culture rooted in core values of caring, listening, learning, solving, and acting.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve our members and lead such a dedicated team of 200 financial professionals,” said Cameron Minges. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together to make our credit union more accessible, innovative, and inclusive. I leave knowing the organization is strong, and in excellent hands with Kevin until a long-term CEO is named.”
Kevin Ryan, who previously served as CEO for 12 years, brings extensive credit union leadership experience and deep institutional knowledge. In addition to his previous tenure at Financial Center, Ryan has held executive roles within the broader credit union system, owned a consulting firm specializing in executive benefits, and currently serves on the Board of the Worldwide Foundation of Credit Unions.
“Kevin’s history with our credit union, combined with his ongoing service to the global credit union movement, makes him uniquely positioned to lead during this transition,” said Tom Spahr, Board Chair. “We are grateful to Cam for his extraordinary leadership and the transformation that his tenure provided us, and we look forward to a strong future ahead.”
The search is being led by DDJ Myers.
