Scott Earl, president and CEO of Mountain West Credit Union Association, will retire as head of the trade organization.
Earl, who has led MWCUA since its founding in 2011, announced in a press release Monday that he will step down from his current roles at the end of June. The board of directors has established a search committee to choose his successor.
“The board of directors expresses its heartfelt gratitude for Scott’s tireless dedication and service, not only to the credit unions in the mountain west region, but to the entire credit union movement itself,” Todd Marksberry, chair of the MWCUA board and chief executive of Canvas Credit Union in Lone Tree, Colorado, said in the release. “Scott’s leadership, integrity and heart for our credit unions, our members and our communities has been an inspiration for so many credit union leaders over the years.”
Established as a result of the mergers between the Arizona Credit Union League, the Credit Union Association of Colorado and the Credit Union Association of Wyoming, the MWCUA has grown its membership to encompass credit unions that oversee a total $65 billion of assets throughout Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming.
“I have had many opportunities to work alongside colleagues whose passion and heart have developed credit unions into what they are today, the consumer’s best financial partner. ... I’m certain the work we began with the formation of the Association in 2011 and over the past decade is a solid foundation for an exciting and bright future," Earl said in the release.
