Securityplus Federal Credit Union in Baltimore has named Tricia Szurgot as its next chief executive.
The $520 million-asset credit union announced that Szurgot, currently executive vice president and chief operating officer of the $1 billion-asset First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union in Allentown, Pennsylvania, will become Securityplus's first female CEO on March 14.
Szurgot is succeeding chief information officer Mike Keener Jr., who has been interim CEO since July 2021.
“As the first woman to hold this top leadership role at Securityplus FCU, Tricia has the perfect combination of experience, leadership, credentials, integrity, passion and vision … she has spent her 30-plus year career, including 15-plus years in senior executive roles in the credit union industry, re-imagining business potential to help organizations preserve, protect and build future-focused and scalable growth strategies, business models and cultures,” Carolyn A. Brooks, chairperson at Securityplus, said in a press release Wednesday.
Brett Noll had been the credit union's CEO from 2012 until his departure in 2021. He now leads the $437 million-asset FedChoice Federal Credit Union in Lanham, Maryland.
“I’m excited to collaborate with such passionate, talented and committed volunteers, employees and community leaders, and to work together to enable a higher-level financial inclusivity, empowerment and equity for our members, potential members and individuals, families and businesses throughout the Baltimore area,” Szurgot said in the release.
The credit union used the executive search firm Humanidei & O’Rourke.
