Tinker FCU’s Mike Kloiber to Retire After 33 Years of Service
Michael D. Kloiber, president and CEO of Tinker Federal Credit Union, will retire after 33 years with the institution, 25 of which were served as TFCU’s CEO. Kloiber has 43 years of financial industry work experience and previously held the positions of senior vice president/chief operations officer and vice president of operations at TFCU.
During his time as CEO, Kloiber has seen TFCU’s assets grow from less than $1 billion and 155,000 members in 1995, to more than $5 billion in assets and nearly 420,000 members by the end of 2020.
“I have had the privilege to work with Mike Kloiber for his entire career as president/CEO,” said Sheila Jones, chair of the board of directors for TFCU. “During that time, Mike has led TFCU to an amazing level of success, and he has been an inspiration to all of us with his leadership and professionalism.”
Among TFCU employees, Kloiber is well-known for his friendly demeanor and for personally calling or visiting every TFCU employee on their birthday to congratulate and thank them for their work.
Kloiber has a reputation for loving his country and local community and has put his heart for service into action with the development of Team Tinker Home Away from Home. TTHAFH is a 501c3 program that was created by Kloiber and his wife Pam to partner young, first-term enlisted service members stationed at Tinker Air Force Base with mentoring host families to give them a safe and stress-free family environment in their new “home away from home.”
In the past eight years, TTHAFH has mentored 1,026 first-term enlisted service members and currently has 71 host families, including the Kloibers. The Kloibers have guided 18 other air force bases and three army posts across the country in implementing their own programs modeled after TTHAFH.
“Thank you for your support and confidence that allowed me to serve as your chief executive for a quarter of a century,” said Kloiber. “Together, we have taken TFCU to the highest of heights, and I believe that the best years are yet to come. Longevityplus premium serviceare the keys to our future success.”
David Willis, the credit union’s co-president and chief operations officer, has been selected as Kloiber’s successor and will be named president and CEO on Sept. 1, 2021.
