America’s Credit Unions, NASCUS boards underscore commitment to unified system

America’s Credit Union President/CEO Scott Simpson emphasized the importance of leagues to the credit union movement as leaders from key credit union organizations came together from across the country this week. Meeting together with League System presidents, Simpson reiterated the need for collaboration.

“Having these discussions collectively is vitally important to the credit union movement overall,” said America’s Credit Unions President/CEO Scott Simpson. “Coming from the league system, I know how It makes our efforts more responsive and collaborative when we bring these key organizations together.”

The boards of America’s Credit Unions and the National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors (NASCUS) joined together with league leaders and industry partners at the American Association of Credit Union Leagues (AACUL) Winter Conference to reaffirm their partnerships and commitment to elevating the unified credit union voice. 

The event officially kicked off Tuesday with a theme of “Align. Amplify. Advance.” In conjunction with the event, the America’s Credit Unions Board met Tuesday morning to discuss organizational strategy and credit union priorities. Updates on legislative and regulatory efforts included direct feedback from America’s Credit Unions’ member committees on the association’s advocacy strategy.

AACUL leaders welcomed attendees, America’s Credit Unions addressed the organization’s priorities for 2026 and beyond, and several discussions hosted by credit union and league leaders highlighted a variety of issues. The event continues through Thursday.
