After some 11 years at the helm, Synergy Credit Union CEO Glenn Stang is retiring, effective December 31, 2024.
Stang has served as Synergy’s CEO since 2013 and has worked with Synergy (formerly Lloydminster Credit Union) for the past 27 years. His career serving the credit union system in Saskatchewan spans an impressive 43 years as a champion of the cooperative banking family.
One of Glenn’s many talents is his ability to create a positive workplace culture, notes the Synergy board, and for seven consecutive years, the credit union has been recognized as a provincial Top Employer.
During Glenn’s leadership, Synergy has:
- Grown more than $1.1 billion to the current $2.5 billion in assets under administration
- Welcomed Macklin and Saskatoon to Synergy’s branch network
- Returned over $30 million in Profit Shares to members
- Donated more than $2.8 million to community projects and initiatives through the Synergy Shares program
- Increased membership to over 27,000
- Formed collaborative working groups with other credit unions to provide members with high-quality digital banking technology
From the board’s perspective, Glenn exhibits a passionate and energetic leadership style that sets him apart. Also, he is highly respected in leadership circles locally, provincially, and nationally for his visionary thinking and his willingness to engage in difficult conversations about the sustainable future of credit unions. He brings integrity, an authentic passion for cooperative values, and a deep concern for the well-being of communities, members, and employees.
The Synergy family is extending best wishes to its retiring CEO Glenn Stang, and the credit union will face the task of finding a new leader to carry on the trailblazing efforts and values imbued in such a distinguished career.
