Simpson to lead America's Credit Unions
Scott Simpson will be the next president/CEO of America's Credit Unions, the organization announced Tuesday.
Simpson, who currently leads the California Credit Union League, Nevada’s Credit Unions, and Utah's Credit Unions, was selected after a months-long competitive search process. With more than two decades of proven leadership in credit union advocacy, public policy, and organizational strategy, Simpson steps into the role with deep experience and a strong track record of advancing a unified credit union movement across multiple states and on the national stage. He will begin his tenure Nov. 3.
“We are thrilled to welcome Scott Simpson as our next CEO,” said Patrick Pierce, chair of the Board of Directors for America’s Credit Unions and CEO of City & County Credit Union. “Scott brings a powerful blend of state and national advocacy experience, a strategic mindset, and a deep belief in the credit union mission. His leadership is exactly what our movement needs as we look to the future.”
As president/CEO, Simpson will lead America’s Credit Unions in executing its strategic vision—amplifying the credit union voice in Washington, safeguarding the tax status, enhancing member engagement, and delivering top-tier products and events. With experience managing high-stakes policy challenges and a career built on putting members first, Simpson is well-positioned to unify and energize the movement.
"I’m honored to join America’s Credit Unions at such a pivotal moment,” said Simpson. “Credit unions have always been about people helping people. I look forward to championing that mission and working with our members to grow our impact, protect our interests, and strengthen communities nationwide.”
At the California, Nevada, and Utah leagues, Simpson championed a unique, cross-state partnership model designed to maximize collaboration while maintaining strong, state-level leadership. Under his direction, credit unions in these states navigated complex political environments, strengthened their advocacy efforts, and expanded their reach to better serve diverse communities. Simpson has also held several volunteer leadership positions, focusing on advocacy and educating the next generation of credit union leaders.
