George Nahodil and Mike Wilson
A leading Harrisburg-area financial institution soon will have new leadership, as Members 1st Federal Credit Union has named its next president and CEO.
On Wednesday, the Members 1st board announced that Mike Wilson will lead the Enola-based not-for-profit as of July 1. Most recently, Wilson served as the credit union’s chief experience officer, responsible for member experience, marketing, outreach, community outreach and communications, among other responsibilities.
“This appointment highlights Members 1st’s commitment to fostering growth, recognizing talent within the organization and upholding its distinct culture,” said board chair Jon Kirssin, in a statement. “With a deep understanding of the organization and a demonstrated history of leadership, Mike is well-positioned to guide our financially sound credit union toward further success.”
Wilson will take the reins from George Nahodil, who is retiring after 23 years with Members 1st, including six years as president and CEO. According to Kirssin, the credit union selected Wilson following a national search and a two-year succession planning process.
Wilson joined Members 1st in July 2016 as a vice president of relationship management and since has held a number of leadership roles within the credit union.
“I am honored to continue to serve our members, associates and communities as Members 1st’s next president and CEO,” Wilson said. “Throughout my long-term history with this credit union, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact we make on the lives of those we serve.”
Wilson also serves as president of the Members 1st Charitable Foundation and on several boards and committees in the credit union industry and throughout the community, including CrossState Credit Union Foundation and the Harrisburg Regional Chamber and Capital Region Economic Development Corporation (CREDC). He holds a bachelor’s of science degree and an MBA and is a graduate of Leadership Harrisburg, Cumberland, Lancaster and Lebanon programs.
“Mike’s strong leadership skills, strategic thinking and deep understanding of our unique culture make him the perfect choice to lead Members 1st into the future,” Nahodil said. “I am immensely proud of the significant contributions he has made to our members, associates and communities during his tenure.”
Members 1st has a network of nearly 60 branch locations throughout Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Perry and York counties, in addition to its digital banking services. It has more than 500,000 members and over $7 billion in assets.
