The Richmond Heritage Federal Credit Union announced Friday it elected Antione M. Green as its next chairman on Dec. 29, 2020.

Green joined the board in 2018. He is the co-founder of the Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts, where he also served as CEO. He also serves as board president of the Richmond Urban Collective, a nonprofit organizing a proposed all-male charter school in Richmond.

“I’m honored to be selected by my fellow board members to lead us at a very critical period in our history,” Green said in a statement. “I think we owe it to our 10 founders, all Richmond Public Schools teachers, to ensure our legacy continues and we continue to ensure our members continue to have access to affordable capital for the next 85 years.”

Green previously served as the chairman of Southside Community Development and Housing Corp. and as president of the Urban League Young Professionals of Greater Richmond. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. 

Chartered in 1936, the credit union was established to provide a place for Richmond Virginia School Board and Virginia Union University employees and family members to save and borrow money.
