Arise Community Credit Union has recently announced a leadership change. Dan Johnson has decided to move on from his role as CEO and Francis Odhiambo, who recently served as Chair of the Arise Board of Directors, will take his place. Debra Hurston, Executive Director of the Association for Black Economic Power (ABEP) and a longtime advocate of making Arise a reality, has been chosen to serve as the new Board Chair.
The Arise Board and Francis are excited to carry out the mission to serve and create financial opportunities for residents of North Minneapolis.
