After an extensive search process, the board of directors of Access Credit Union has announced the appointment of Myrna Wiebe as president and chief executive officer, effective Sept. 2, 2025.
Wiebe has more than 30 years of experience in financial services, having led departments including operations, marketing, people and culture, IT and security, corporate strategy, and governance. She holds a certificate in management from the University of Manitoba, a post-baccalaureate diploma in management, and an MBA from Athabasca University.
She also holds designations from the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD.D) and the Financial Planning Standards Council (CFP). She has completed the Canadian Securities Course credential from the Canadian Securities Institute and is recognized as a Fellow of the Credit Union Institute of Canada (FCUIC).
Beyond her business career, Wiebe is active in the community. She serves as a board member and investment committee chair with the Teachers’ Retirement Allowances Fund (TRAF) Board and is a member of the Winnipeg Women’s Conference Committee. Within the credit union system, she sits on the Canadian Credit Union Association (CCUA) board and serves on the Democratic Control Review Committee at Credit Union Central of Manitoba (CUCM).
“Myrna’s long history and broad experience with the credit union is a strength that the board recognized as a valuable asset to the organization,” said Curt Letkeman, chair of the board of Access Credit Union. “The existing relationships Myrna holds both inside and outside the organization are a testament to her ability to connect and inspire those around her to achieve great things. Our members and clients will continue to benefit from Myrna’s enthusiasm, integrity and her continued focus on creating a credit union for all Manitobans.”
Wiebe said she is excited about the next chapter, both for herself and for the credit union.
“I am honoured to take on the leadership of Access Credit Union, building upon the considerable achievements accomplished during Larry Davey’s tenure,” she said. “Drawing on the organization’s strong foundation, I am committed to working collaboratively with our board and talented leadership team to drive member value, advance innovative initiatives and continue our strong community support. Together, we will continue to build a successful future for all members.”
Wiebe replaces Larry Davey, who is retiring from Access Credit Union at the end of August.
