Paul Annunziata, Incumbent

Annunziata currently serves on the board for Chartway and is also on the board for Chartway’s charitable arm, the Chartway Promise Foundation. Annunziata retired from Chartway in early 2021 after serving for more than four decades in various roles, including chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and corporate development executive.

Jim Bibbs, Incumbent

Bibbs, chief human resources officer at LifeNet Health, initially joined the board of directors in 2020 through its associate director development program and was appointed as a director later that same year. Due to competing priorities, Bibbs stepped away from the board in 2021, he remained actively involved by serving on the board executive compensation committee and returned to the board last year. Bibbs brings valuable expertise to the board, with more than 25 years of leadership experience developing and leading highly successful human resource infrastructure within multi-site, global, and Fortune 500 companies, including the Port of Virginia, Quintiles, and Citi. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication and media studies from Lock Haven University and a master’s degree in organizational leadership from Gonzaga University.

Jared Perry, Incumbent

Perry has served on the board since 2017 and is a long-time partner of the Chartway Promise Foundation. He’s also served on the credit union’s legislative and regulatory advocacy committee and as chair of the strategic planning committee. His career includes roles as legislative correspondent for U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch, senior advisor for Senator Bob Bennet, executive director for the University of Utah’s Hospital Foundation, and later as CEO of Make-A-Wish Utah. Now, he is chief revenue officer of Make-A-Wish America. Perry holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in business management and a Master of Public Administration degree – both from the University of Utah.

“Your trust means the world to us, and we don’t take it for granted,” said Brian Schools, Chartway’s president and CEO during the meeting. “Listening to your feedback is invaluable. It helps our team adapt and grow as we continually look for new ways to help you and your families thrive.”

In 2025, Chartway will continue expanding its footprint and enhance offerings in the markets it serves—Texas, Utah, and Virginia—reflecting its commitment to being a full-service credit union meeting the diverse need of members.
