SALMON ARM (April 9, 2024) —SASCU Financial Group announces changes to its executive team.

Julie Langham Wall has been appointed to the new role of Chief Operating Officer and Darren Bryce has been named Vice President, Finance. Both roles will report to Chief Executive Officer Barry Delaney.

“These changes will help SASCU accelerate delivery of strategic priorities and support an improved member and customer experience,” said President and CEO Barry Delaney.“We have to be resilient to the economic shocks that will continue, and adaptable to industry innovations. Julie, in her new elevated role, and Darren, as the steward of our finances, will help ensure we are successful."

Julie Langham Wall, MBA, joined SASCU in 2011 as Vice President, Sales & Service, after previously building career success in the financial services industry including serving as Regional Manager of Libro Credit Union in London, Ontario. Julie will continue to lead all business lines of SASCU operations, along with marketing and community engagement. Julie will also oversee the development of the member experience and service delivery throughout the organization.
