OAK RIDGE, TN (April 30, 2026) |
Y‑12 Credit Union announced today that it is expanding its business services leadership team to better support the evolving needs of the region’s business community. The Credit Union has added three experienced financial professionals to its business team: Brian, Arterburn, Executive Director of Business Relations; Carrie Crawford, Director of Commercial Deposits & Treasury Services; and Kendall Polk, Director of Commercial Development. These strategic roles strengthen Y‑12 Credit Union’s ability to support business members through a wider range of services as commercial accounts grow, operations become more complex, and expectations continue to rise.
Arterburn's Position Expands to Executive Director of Business Relations
As Executive Director of Business Relations, Arterburn will play a key role in strengthening the Credit Union’s support for commercial members across Kentucky. He will lead growth initiatives in lending, deposits, mortgages, and membership while partnering closely with branch teams and community organizations.
Before stepping into this newly expanded role, Arterburn led commercial lending strategy for First State Bank of the Southeast, which was acquired by Y‑12 Credit Union in July 2025.
“I’m excited to help grow our footprint in Kentucky in a way that feels authentic to the communities we serve,” Arterburn said. “There’s so much opportunity here, and I’m looking forward to being part of that momentum.”
Carrie Crawford Appointed Director of Commercial Deposits & Treasury Services
Crawford brings deep expertise in commercial deposit solutions and will collaborate across departments to strengthen treasury services, enhance branch support, and develop video‑based education for commercial products.
“Commercial members deserve solutions that are both strong and easy to use,” Crawford said. “I’m excited to help build offerings that make doing business with us even better.”
Kendall Polk Joins as Director of Commercial Development
Polk will partner with commercial lenders across Tennessee to drive growth in commercial lending and deposits. He has spent much of his career serving business clients across Sevier, Blount, and Knox counties.“I love helping businesses find the financial tools they need to thrive,” Polk said. “Tennessee has a strong, growing commercial market, and I’m thrilled to be part of the team that is helping shape what comes next.”
>These leadership additions reflect Y‑12 Credit Union’s commitment to expanding its commercial services, strengthening its Kentucky presence, and supporting business members with the expertise and resources they need.
