DENVER — Mountain West Credit Union Association president Scott Earl will retire in June 2022.

Earl has led the organization since 2011, when it was formed after the merger of the Arizona Credit Union League, the Credit Union Association of Colorado and the Credit Union Association of Wyoming.

The trade organization advocates on behalf of dozens of institutions with more than 4.2 million total credit union members.

"I have been tremendously blessed to work in such a meaningful and fulfilling movement throughout my entire career," Earl said in a prepared statement. "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 proud of our efforts at the association, having created a regional system of support and collaboration for our members. 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."

The MWCUA board has formed a search committee to identify Earl's successor.
