Partners 1st Federal Credit Union Chief Executive Officer Carla C. Bienz is retiring, effective January 31, 2025, after more than 43 years of dedicated service.
Starting straight out of college in 1981, Bienz has been promoted to several different roles within the credit union during her tenure, from Internal Auditor to Vice President of Branch Operations, followed by Executive Vice President. All her roles gave her the knowledge and experience for her most important role at the credit union: CEO & President.
Since 1981, the credit union has grown from just $25 million in assets to an impressive half billion in assets. Much of this growth can be attributed to Bienz overseeing nine mergers and two core system upgrades. She credits her success to promoting an open door policy and working closely with her team – never asking others to do tough jobs that she was not willing to do herself.
“The credit union has had my heart since day one of my employment. It has been such an honor to serve this organization and to work with so many wonderful and talented people over the years. I have been blessed. I am so proud of this credit union, and I am confident in its future. I look forward to watching all the successes to come,” said Bienz.
Effective February 1, 2025, Clinton Miller will be promoted to CEO & President of Partners 1st Federal Credit Union to continue leading the credit union. In July, Miller was promoted to President to gain experience under Bienz’s leadership and prepare for his new role.
