Serving our member credit unions has been the privilege of a lifetime. Throughout these decades, I\u2019ve had the honor of working alongside some of the most dedicated, visionary, and principled individuals in our industry. Together, we\u2019ve advanced the cooperative mission, overcome challenges, celebrated victories, and championed the financial well-being of Nebraska\u2019s credit union members.<\/p>\n<p>From the early days of my career to the present, I\u2019ve witnessed firsthand the resilience and innovation that define the credit union community. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved: stronger advocacy, expanded member services, enhanced operations, stronger communities, and a steadfast commitment to the people we serve.<\/p>\n<p>I want to express my deepest appreciation to each of you\u2014credit union leaders, volunteers, partners, and team members\u2014who have shared this journey with me. Your passion, integrity, and collaborative spirit have made my role not just a career, but a calling.<\/p>\n<p>Though I am moving away from my formal responsibilities, I will always carry the values of our movement with me. I look forward to watching the League and its member credit unions continue to thrive<\/p>\n<p>As I step away from this role, I do so with full confidence in the future of the League. It is in extremely capable hands under the leadership of Brandon Luetkenhaus. His deep experience, steady guidance, and genuine commitment to the credit union mission ensures that the League will continue to thrive and grow.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for 36 remarkable years. It has truly been an honor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With gratitude and warmest regards,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5670  alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/signature.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"163\" height=\"62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/signature.jpeg 474w, https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/signature-300x114.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>J Scott Sullivan<br \/>President\/CEO<br \/>Nebraska Credit Union League<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/NCUL_Logo_Hor.jpg\" width=\"246\" height=\"81\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5672 aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;] Dear Colleagues and Friends, After 36 incredible years of service to the credit union movement\u2014and with deep gratitude and reflection, I will be retiring from the Nebraska Credit Union League on June 30th.
