Commitment.
Since 2009, Val Mindak has served as Park City’s CEO and President, leading the credit union’s mission of “helping members fulfill their dreams while serving our communities.” Her commitment to serving employees and over 20,000 members with excellence has been the driving force behind Park City’s recognition as the Mid-Size Business of the Year for two years running.
A financial services veteran, Val gained 23 years of experience as the Chief Operating Officer of Connexus Credit Union in Madison, WI. During her tenure at CCU, she furthered her professional education by studying at Wharton, Darden, and Cornell Universities, ultimately achieving the credit union industry’s top designation, Certified Chief Executive Officer, in 2004.
In addition to her role as an Executive Member of the Wisconsin Credit Union League’s board of directors, Val also serves as the Chair of the Governmental Affairs Committee, where she represents the interests of Wisconsin Credit Unions statewide. Most recently, Val has been appointed to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis advisory council, where she provides perspective from the perspective of thrifts, credit unions and banks in the Ninth District. Her example of service also extends beyond her work with credit unions, as evidenced by her involvement with Ascension Hospitals, the Merrill Chamber of Commerce, Good Samaritan Foundation Board, and Merrill Rotary.
From professional pursuits to personal endeavors, one quality that distinguishes Val is her willingness to embrace sentimentality towards her members and friends. As she pours herself into serving her community, she cherishes anytime someone remembers her as fondly as she remembers them, and she has kept every note, card, gift, badge, and letter that she’s ever received.

As Chief Operating Officer (COO), Jack Mikunda is responsible for taking Park City’s mission and making it a reality. By overseeing the day-to-day operations of the credit union’s retail, lending, and collections departments, he works to ensure every aspect of a member’s banking experience demonstrates the company’s commitment to personable, professional service.
After beginning his financial career with Thorp Finance in 1981, Jack brought his lending and collections experience to the Park City team in October of 1983. Since that time, he has worked as a Loan Officer, Collector, and an Underwriter. The experience gained in those roles prepared Jack for his successful advancement to supervisory roles that include Branch Manager, VP of Information Technology, EVP of Lending/Collections, and currently, COO.
Outside of the office, Jack likes to spend his downtime traveling, camping, and boating with his wife. They also enjoy visiting with their sons. As an active member of his community for more than 30 years, Jack has served on virtually every community committee, taking leadership roles that included his term as President of Somo Fish and Game Club. Based on his role as the founding President of the Tomahawk Optimist Club, it should come as no surprise that Jack lives by the motto “Every day’s a holiday, and every meal’s a picnic.”
With decades of financial industry experience under his belt, Jack continues to be driven by a deep sense of gratitude. He understands that members are a vital part of a successful credit union, and he is thankful for every Park City member who allows his team to serve them.

As the Chief Retail Officer, Melissa ensures member service standards are followed at each Park City branch and across every delivery channel. Approaching day-to-day situations with an optimistic, glass-half-full mindset allows her to create a positive credit union experience for employees and members alike.
Since joining Park City as the Vice President of Marketing and Business Development in April of 2012, Melissa has demonstrated the ability to not only set ambitious goals for herself and her team but to exceed those goals.
Working in the financial services industry for more than 15 years as a Personal Banker and a Branch Manager has given Melissa valuable knowledge and insight. Her experience as a Certified Master COACH has helped her effectively communicate that knowledge to her teams.
Through various credit union initiatives and service projects, Melissa encourages her fellow Park City team members to become personally involved with the improvement of their communities. While these endeavors may require hard work, they give her the opportunity to apply one of her favorite quotes: “Be grateful for all the obstacles in your life. They have strengthened you as you continue with your journey.”
Based on her previous involvement with Lincoln County Partners in Education (PIE) and the Tomahawk Optimist Club, Melissa’s positivity can be seen in her personal pursuits as well. Whether she’s exploring Wisconsin on short weekend trips with her family, or simply showing her fun-loving footwear preferences (“Life’s too short for boring socks.”), Melissa consistently sets an example of finding joy in life’s smallest details.

As Vice President of Human Resources and Administration, Janet Schreiber understands the importance of having a great management team, treating co-workers as respected family members, and recognizing employee strengths by providing opportunities for growth.
Her day-to-day responsibilities involve the development, implementation, and management of HR policies for the credit union. She has a primary focus on wage and salary administration, performance appraisal programs, and employee relations. Working closely with the CEO, Janet keeps a steady eye on the credit union’s strategic plan, ensuring the company complies with the latest state and federal regulations and is offering a wonderful work environment for staff.
Starting as the Executive Assistant, she advanced to the position of Human Resources Manager before accepting her current role. With a strong business background in accounts payable, accounts receivable, and customer service, Janet bolstered her expertise by studying courses in human resources and development through the Society for Human Resource Management.
Along with her husband, Janet enjoys camping, bonfires, and spending quality time with friends and family, including their daughters. When Janet finds time to relax, she enjoys shopping, card stamping, collecting country décor, and interior decorating.
For inspiration and motivation, Janet draws on the wisdom of her two favorite quotes: “Nothing is impossible – the word itself says I’m possible,” and “You are stronger than you seem, braver than you believe, and smarter than you think.”
Excellence.
Becky Jaecks doesn’t sweat the small stuff. At the same time, the Branch Manager for the Tomahawk office pushes herself and others to move outside of their comfort zone. Under her leadership and direction, she leads the branch to meet service and operational goals while building strong membership relationships.
Becky joined Park City Credit Union in 2013 as an MSR Supervisor and later served as a Financial Resource Manager. At her previous employer, she spent 27 years in business operations where she honed her skills in on how to build customer confidence and loyalty while driving sales and profits.
On the weekends, you can find Becky in her garden, antiquing with her husband, or enjoying her familys’ company.
Becky credits her personal and professional success to having a positive attitude. She thinks Robert Brault said it best: “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”

Stephanie and her husband share a great love for the outdoors, including fishing, camping and snowmobiling. She volunteers as Treasurer for the Northern Hornshoe Trails Snowmobile Club and is an ambassador to the Minocqua Area Chamber of Commerce.
She keeps life in check with a favorite quote: “Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

As the Branch Manager of Park City’s Rhinelander location, Melinda Schultz understands how important it is to create a welcoming and positive banking experience for the credit union’s members and staff alike.

During that time, she gained valuable experience in roles that include Supervisor, Relationship Manager, Internal Operations Specialist, and Senior Processor. Melinda’s wide range of responsibilities helped her gain the knowledge and understanding that allow her to manage branch operations with confidence.
When she’s not working, Melinda enjoys spending time with her husband and their fur babies. With hobbies that include skiing, camping, kayaking, canoeing, and traveling, it’s easy to see why Melinda lists her favorite quote as, “Be running when the sand runs out.”
