“I’m looking forward to meeting the Capital Credit Union team, the members and the community at large in the coming months as we forge ahead in living out the organization’s mission. Serving our members, being stewards of the community, and being passionate about the credit union industry align with my focus on caring for employees and our friends, families and neighbors in Northeast Wisconsin.” Born and raised in Green Bay, Butz looks forward to returning to her hometown to live and work after working in the Fox Valley for the past 16 years.
