Scott Butterfield, Principal & CEO
Scott is doing far more than saving small and mid-sized credit unions. He inspires credit unions to see logical, astounding results generated from focusing on the traditional operating principles that grew credit unions during the Great Depression. From landing $500,000 in U.S. Treasury Fund grant money for a $9 million credit union in Harlem, NY to writing net worth restoration plans preventing mergers of small credit unions whose original field of membership would become underserved if they disappeared, Scott is leading credit unions back to their roots, increasing ROAA, growing loans and attracting new members. It’s nothing for him to invent a “Car Load of Cash” program that generated $8.2 million in 3 weeks.
There’s more than wistful philosophy to this wizard of 5300 reports and financial projections. He is a respected 20-year veteran of the credit union industry whose broad experience produced a credit union leader with unusual insight into program development, policy creation and the know-how to cultivate avid board support in the face of any adversity. He worked his way up holding nearly every position from MSR to VP operations, league staff and even volunteer board secretary.
