We\u2019ve got challenges ahead, but I also know we\u2019ve got something special here. I\u2019m excited about what\u2019s possible when we work together.<\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t know me, I have been part of the credit union movement for over two decades, most recently in the League System serving California\u2019s Credit Unions, Nevada\u2019s Credit Unions, and Utah\u2019s Credit Unions. Before that, I worked for a U.S. Senator and led the Utah Republican Party. I grew up as a \u201cpolitical hack,\u201d if you will, but the call to protect and empower credit unions is something I felt connected to the first time I experienced the unique power of cooperative finance. I was hooked.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 20 years, I\u2019ve remained astounded by what you do for your members. Credit unions change lives. You help folks build a better future, one member at a time. You rise to a greater calling every single day.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of impact doesn\u2019t happen by accident. It takes the right political, legislative and regulatory environments that allow you to focus on your members, build strong relationships, and meet their needs. That\u2019s where America\u2019s Credit Unions and the League System come in. We\u2019re here to be your voice in Washington, to help create an environment where credit unions can exist without barriers, and ultimately thrive.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be working closely with you, your league, and industry partners to tackle the tough issues and make sure your voice is heard loud and clear in Washington, D.C., and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>I know the road ahead won\u2019t always be smooth. There\u2019ll be bumps, detours, maybe even a few potholes. But if we stay focused on where we\u2019re headed\u2014a stronger, more connected credit union movement\u2014we\u2019ll get there together.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming months, I\u2019d love to hear from you. Your membership is important to me and your feedback will help shape our unified voice and direction.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to working closely with you and can\u2019t wait to see what we accomplish.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5916 size-full alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/acu.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Warm regards,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scott Simpson<\/strong><br \/>President &amp; CEO<br \/><em>America\u2019s Credit Unions<br \/><\/em><\/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;2px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#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;] A message from Scott Simpson, America\u2019s Credit Unions new president\/CEO To the credit union movement: I\u2019m just getting started in my new role as President and CEO of America\u2019s Credit Unions, and while I am not new to credit unions, I recognize [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5914"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5914\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncultheaffiliate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
