“Progress is the constant replacing of the best there is with something better.”

~ Edward Filene

Our movement cannot afford to rest on its laurels. Nearly every day, a new issue, technology or regulation impacts us; what sets credit unions apart from other industries is our willingness to cooperate

with one another to tackle each challenge head-on.

We constantly see examples of collaboration and innovation that make things better for us all. Whether we are responding to a political issue, managing yet another data breach or standing together to protect our rights as a movement, we find ways to work together to benefit the whole.

In essence, we put Credit Unions First. We seek out ways to improve the lives of our members, and members of credit unions worldwide. In our region, we can celebrate many examples of innovation that helps create new opportunities.

Just last year, regional credit union executives participated in the first-ever Regulatory Hike the Hill, giving us a voice with regulatory agencies and the chance to express our concerns over issues affecting our movement. We created a platform on which we can build.

We have seen political gains with the election of a new credit union champion in Arizona, winning 93 of 100 endorsed elections and mailing out nearly 1 million political communications to credit union members.

Association member credit unions are taking advantage of education and training opportunities like never before. There were more than 2,000 registrations for training and events in our region last year, and 89% of our membership participated in one or more training programs.

We continually seek ways to better the lives of our members through their credit union, and are committed to this goal. As technology advances and political agendas target our movement, we must not only keep up, but strive to lead.

That is what Credit Unions First is all about. Our investment in political action and technological competencies are at the forefront of our movement. Now, and into the future, how we choose to invest and focus will determine our success.

This movement was created out of a need to offer innovation for members; we must take the torch that has been passed to us and move forward to meet the needs of a new generation of credit union supporters. Our members demand and deserve that commitment from each one of us.

The Board of Directors is committed to supporting members through Credit Unions First. Through this direction, the Board sees a future that is better because strong, vibrant credit unions are a part of it.

From the Chairman

ROBERT D. RAMIREZChair

PHOENIX, AZ | MARCH 26 – 28, 2015 | WWW.MWCUA.COM 1

As we pause to take a look back at the accomplishments and opportunities of 2014, there’s a common theme that resonates. Our affiliated credit unions are engaged! We see it in all areas of the

Association and, for that, we are thankful. That engagement prompted the question - how can we better tap into the passion and drive of our credit unions? We know the answer. Our challenge - and opportunity - is to utilize that focus and align our efforts with that passion to better our movement.

Credit Unions First.

It may sound like a catchy slogan, but there is a lot of thought and truth behind it. We define the movement as community members making significant contributions to community goals. As a movement, our common goal is to put the interests of the members of our credit unions first and foremost in our thinking. We see tremendous examples of this every day.

We see it as the chance to refine our priorities. We have always been focused on serving the members of our respective credit unions. But this is the first time that as the Association, we are tapping into the passion of individual credit unions and working to bring the value of credit union membership to more people.

Of course, credit unions are already working towards these goals individually. But, like any team, we are stronger together. So, our collective efforts can be multiplied for even greater results in the areas that we need it most.

One of these is advocacy. This means putting forth the effort and energy to impact areas that influence our industry. Our political efforts have the ability to make a significant impact on our members, because what is decided by the government affects how we serve them. We can certainly make an impact individually, but when we unite in our efforts, we are a powerful force that commands respect and attention.

Political action is our top priority. We have built our goals in a manner that supports having the resources and ability to bring more value to our membership. To that end, we have begun rolling out a strategic plan designed to create growth for the entire credit union system. That plan leverages our existing resources but places greater importance on collaboration between departments and resources. By doing so, we achieve the higher goal of providing a platform that serves as a strong voice for our movement in the areas that matter the most.

I believe we have put the right pieces in motion to see a positive shift in how we can improve the lives of members. Our team is committed to providing the best possible resources, support, training and information. We are well positioned to accomplish our goals.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our Board. I sincerely thank our Board members and all who are so actively engaged in putting Credit Unions First. Our Chairman, Bob Ramirez, is a hard working, dedicated and committed leader of credit unions. I want to thank him for all he has done as he concludes his term at this year’s annual meeting.

Association Management Report

Legislative activity kept Government Affairs busy

Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming state legislatures spent 240 days in session in 2014. In that time 2,271 bills were introduced, and 86 were tracked by the Association. Of particular interest, the Association successfully passed a bill in Colorado that provided clarification to allow financial institution employers to use consumer credit information for employment. In addition, we successfully lobbied to have credit unions exempt from new foreclosure and mortgage requirements.

On the federal side, the Association lobbied members of our Congressional delegation against the NCUA’s risk-based capital proposal. We were successful in getting 13 of our 17 House members to sign a joint letter in opposition to the proposal. Half of our U.S. Senators wrote their own letters in opposition to the NCUA proposal.

Advocacy stays in the forefront of our efforts

A major focus of the Association in 2014 was the midterm elections. This cycle, Arizona and Colorado had some of the most competitive races in the country. During the two year cycle, the Association raised and spent $207,869.48 towards electing credit union friendly candidates at the state and federal level. ($170,471 Federal - $37,398 State). In addition, we engaged 144,152 credit union members in the 2014 election cycle to support candidates, and we mailed almost 1 million communications to credit union members supporting credit union candidates. Because of these efforts, 93 of our 100 endorsed candidates won election in 2014. One of our most notable races was the successful effort to elect a new credit union champion, Ruben Gallego, in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

We’ve seen significant growth across our social media platforms. Our grassroots teams had another record year and grew our advocacy teams by adding 2,100 advocates. Arizona now has 16,294 credit union advocates, Colorado has 15,909 and Wyoming grew to 2,477 advocates. These numbers allowed us to surpass 34,680 total grassroots advocates across all three states. Enhancing that effort, our social media following on Facebook has increased by 200 new advocates in 2014, finishing the year with more than 2,000 followers on six channels. Our Twitter followers increased in 2014 by 1,669 followers – from 5,149 in 2013 to 6,818 at the end of 2014.

On the public awareness front, www.asmarterchoice.org continues to be the main consumer website and media hub for the credit union movement. In 2014, asmarterchoice.org had 5,240 visitors from Arizona, Colorado, and Wyoming combined.

Public Affairs gears up

Finding more and better ways to communicate was a top priority for Public Affairs in 2014. We streamlined and brought all Public Affairs in-house. The key activity was helping member credit unions get the word out about all the great work they are doing in their communities. In 2014, Public Affairs prepared and distributed more than 40 press releases, as well as media pitches and responses to media requests. In addition, Public Affairs worked with credit unions in areas of crisis communications and media relations. Member credit unions received media coverage for all types of announcements from new hires to community events, awards and dividend announcements. And, Public Affairs secured an exclusive interview for CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle with the Phoenix Business Journal. 2014 saw more than 150 Association-generated positive media mentions locally and nationally, through trade, on air, online, and print media; those were in addition to media mentions generated by credit unions themselves. Member credit unions also received a media toolkit developed by Public Affairs.

Public Affairs led the efforts to transition and redesign the Mountain West Credit Union Association website as well as to train and educate users. Finally, Public Affairs along with CUNA, produced the quarterly Membership@Work newsletter, a product which allows us to better communicate happenings within the region, as well as share nationally focused material.

Committed to advancing our members’ development through education and training

89% of member credit unions participated in one or more programs in 2014

Training is the cornerstone of a strong and effective credit union and we are committed to assisting with the rising costs of education. Through the Mountain West Credit Union Foundation, we provide professional development scholarships and discounts through a Cheaper by the Dozen webinar promotion. In addition, small-asset size pricing on all schools and conferences and package pricing options for our Real Estate Lending, Emerging Leader, ACH Specialist, Compliance, Director and Frontline Webinar Series help keep costs manageable.

Together, we navigated the complicated and challenging world of compliance and regulation, and expanded educational access through distance learning and videoconferencing programs. We saw more than 2,000 registrations for 200+ webinars, network councils, schools, and conferences. One-day trainings took place by virtual classroom in 12 cities throughout our states. In 2014, our program rating remained high with an average 4.6 rating on a 1-5 scale (with 5 being the highest score).

PHOENIX, AZ | MARCH 26 – 28, 2015 | WWW.MWCUA.COM 5

Now more than ever, Mountain West is committed to developing future credit union leaders. In its fourth year, our Credit Union Leadership Institute graduated twenty-nine new leaders in the rigorous nine month program. The prestigious Foundation Executive Leadership Program currently has nine future leaders from all three states immersed in a five year leadership development process. These participants include: (2013) Maggie Camacho of Colorado Credit Union, Jeremy Gibson of Trona Valley Federal Credit Union, and Adrianne Rexius of Landings Credit Union; (2014) Choua Ly of Partner Colorado Credit Union, Angel Phillips of Reliant Federal Credit Union, and Lisett Olsen of Alhambra Credit Union; (2015) Matt Ballou of WyHy Federal Credit Union, Victoria Gomez of Landings Credit Union, and Adele Smith of Premier Members Federal Credit Union.

Networking Councils were offered in 2014 as a way for credit union staff members to share best practices and network with each other. These councils operate in five functional areas: Compliance, COO, HR/Trainers, Lending, and Marketing.

The numbers showcase the success:

• More than 360 attendees participated in the 2014 Annual Meeting & Convention in Colorado Springs

• 89% of member credit unions participated in the Association’s training programs

• The five networking councils garnered 260 credit union attendees

2014 saw the addition of new video conference locations in Rock Springs, WY and Tucson, AZ allowing networking and education sessions to reach more members with less travel. With six locations in our three states, member credit unions have greater access to one another and to training opportunities.

Hike the Hill highlights Regulatory Affairs

The 2014 Regulatory Affairs key highlight was the Association’s first-ever Regulatory Hike the Hill. Eleven credit union CEOs and staff joined Association CEO Scott Earl and Regulatory Affairs staff to meet with senior officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Credit union attendees shared factual data with the regulatory agencies about the extreme cost of compliance, and urged officials to seek opportunities for regulatory relief. Attendees urged NCUA officials to improve the examination process, particularly in the area of appeals and sat in on NCUA’s open board meeting and met the newest board member, Mark McWatters.

Association Management Report

Association staff and Arizona credit union CEOs met with Dan Smith, Assistant Director with the CFPB, to discuss the agency’s regulatory agenda for 2015 and beyond. CEOs expressed their concerns on many different issues including student loans, prepaid cards, collections and overdraft programs, among others. Association staff strongly urged the CFPB not to restrict credit unions’ flexibility to meet the unique needs of individual credit unions’ fields of membership by imposing unnecessary regulatory restrictions in lieu of consumer disclosures.

The Association held town hall meetings with NCUA board member Rick Metsger in Arizona and Colorado. While discussion focused on NCUA’s proposed risk-based capital rule, other discussion topics included examination reform, volunteer recruiting, taxation and the declining number of credit unions, particularly small credit unions. The NCUA issued a revised proposed rule with another comment period after the agency received more than 2,000 comment letters, including letters from United States Senators and Representatives, that were highly critical of the original proposal. The Association’s Regulatory Committee also submitted a comment letter sharply criticizing not only the substance of the proposal but also the process undertaken by the NCUA.

Association staff met personally with Keith Morton, Regional Director of NCUA Region IV, and Elizabeth Whitehead, Regional Director of NCUA Region V, on numerous occasions. At these meetings, we urged improvements to the examination process including greater consistency, improved communications, more efficient use of time, better examiner training, and an improved appeals process. Association staff had multiple meetings with the Financial Institutions Manager of the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions and the Commissioner of the Colorado Division of Financial Services. Finally, staff met with NCUA and State supervisor examiners several times during the year.

Regulatory compliance assistance provided by the Regulatory Affairs staff was dominated by responding to questions about the new and revised mortgage rules that took effect early in 2014. Association staff responded to more than an estimated 1,200 requests for one-on-one compliance assistance from member credit unions. Staff provided examination support and assistance to member credit unions resulting in the regulatory agencies amending or eliminating examination findings and DOR/RBA items. More than 100 member credit unions took advantage of the dues-supported policy management system, PolicyPro, that provides credit unions with more than 200 model policies and an on-line, efficient system for reviewing, updating and archiving credit union policies.

The Association’s member credit unions made significant achievements in 2014 in community outreach

Every year, participating member credit unions are making a difference in their communities by supporting Credit Unions for Kids® (CU4Kids), which benefits Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®. Member credit unions participated in activities like the Miracle Marathon, CU4Kids chocolate bar sales, Miracle Balloon Paper Icon Sales, Miracle Jeans Day and numerous other individual credit union-sponsored and organized fundraisers.

In 2014, contributions to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through Credit Unions for Kids in Arizona, Colorado, and Wyoming were $747,988, a 21% increase over 2013.

Market 2012 TOTAL 2013 TOTAL 2014 TOTAL

Phoenix Children's Hospital $494,078 $515,539 $620,235

Tucson Medical Center $51,849 $44,112 $54,499

Children's Hospital of Colorado

$46,849 $55,484 $73,254

$592,776 $615,135 $747,988

In early 2015, we recognized several member credit unions’ 2014 achievements: two statewide first place awards, one statewide second place award, and two statewide honorable mentions were presented. Also, one member credit union received a national honorable mention from CUNA to recognize their community service.

During the 2014 Credit Union Youth Week, participating member credit unions reported that 1,210 youth depositors opened 57 new youth accounts during the month of April for a total of $314,515 in youth deposits.

According to reports from the National Youth Involvement Board (NYIB), member credit unions in Arizona reported providing 324 financial literacy presentations to 8,973 students, and member credit unions in Colorado reported providing 329 presentations, reaching 10,455 students during the 2013–2014 school year.*

*These numbers only reflect the number of presentations and students reached that credit unions chose to report with the NYIB. Numbers may be higher than reported.

The Mountain West Credit Union Association comparative financial statements are presented in the Annual Report in a fully consolidated format. These statements include the Mountain West Credit Union

Association and the Association’s wholly owned subsidiary, Credit Union Strategic Partners (Strategic Partners).

The firm of Tinucci, Jones and Company, P.C. was contracted to perform the annual audit. An unqualified opinion was rendered for the year ended December 31, 2014 on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Mountain West Credit Union Association and its subsidiary.

Since the Association owns 100% of Strategic Partners, the net income from the for-profit subsidiary is combined with the income from the non-profit trade association. The consolidated financial statements of Mountain West Credit Union Association and Strategic Partners reflect total assets of $19,075,485 and net assets (capital) of $17,385,561. Net assets as of December 31, 2013 were $17,189,231. The activities that result in this increase to net assets of $196,330 are operating revenues of $6.57 million, net assets released from restrictions of $80,243, operating expenses of $6.48 million, other increases in unrestricted net assets of $83,962, increases in temporarily restricted net assets of $65,609, and other comprehensive loss of $129,263.

From the for-profit perspective of Strategic Partners, 2014 shows an after tax net gain of $26,921 versus the net gain in 2013 of $107,803. Primarily contributing to this year-over-year variance is $170,124 in additional operational expense and $75,085 less in income tax expense. Strategic Partners ended 2014 with total assets of $13,327,137 and total stockholder’s equity of $12,109,334. Total stockholder’s equity as of December 31, 2013 was $12,211,676. The activities that result in this decrease to net assets of $102,342 are operating revenues of $3.30 million, operating expenses of $3.27 million and decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $129,263.

The combined balance sheet shows a healthy and liquid condition with 59% of total assets in cash, certificates of deposit and marketable investments.

The Mountain West Credit Union Association pledges to operate in an ethical and fiscally responsible manner. The board of directors and management continue to review and adjust all operations and services as necessary to provide value, leadership, and high-quality services for our member credit unions.
