From the Prairie Business 40 Under 40 article:

“Derek Holt is market president for First Community Credit Union (FCCU) in Grand Forks and has worked in the financial industry since 2002. He previously was an agriculture and business lender in Hallock, Minnesota for 12 years, then moved to Alexandria, Minnesota, to serve as vice president of commercial lending with Bremer Bank. Holt became a regional business banking manager for North Dakota and Minnesota in 2020 for U.S. Bank, before accepting his current role, which he’s held for two years.

In this role, he has changed the whole culture of the Grand Forks market, a colleague wrote. Holt brought with him a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. He was able to secure a partnership with UND Athletics in his first year with FCCU.

He has a passion for people and the community he serves. Holt provides excellent leadership for FCCU and empowers the team to want to be better people and to give back as much as possible. His recent work with the UND partnership shows how important community is to him. He and his family have planted roots in Grand Forks and are actively involved in many areas of the community. Holt elevates those around him.

Holt is involved with many organizations and actively seeks out any opportunities to be involved in the community. His door is always open, and he listens to his team members.

“I have worked in banking for 30 years and have had a lot of supervisors. I have never had a supervisor that I have respected or tried to emulate as much as Derek,” one nominator wrote.”
