Chairman’s message
There are many words that come to mind when I reflect on the past year. But out of all of them,
perseverance, collaboration and evolution are most prominent.
Credit unions have more than one hundred years of history during which the industry has consistently evolved and
changed. Change is often difficult and full of uncertainty. It is however, inevitable and necessary for continued
success. Through the process of merging our three states into one Association, we have not only weathered
challenging times, but have also evolved while remaining true to our historical credit union values.
Looking back, the successes that we are celebrating now are the result of consistent focus of leadership
throughout Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming. My fellow board members have selflessly shown an unwavering
commitment to collaboration and have created a strong future for this organization. In addition, I want to extend
my gratitude for the effort and dedication I’ve seen from the Association staff and management, as well as the
exceptional leadership that our President, Scott Earl, has provided, ensuring the success we’ve enjoyed.
Louise Herring, one of the great pioneers of the credit union movement, once said, “We must remember what
we started out to do and then find ways to do it with the modern techniques available.” One year after our states
have merged, my expectations have been exceeded. We are seeing the economies of scale that we set out to
create. By combining efforts, your Association has been able to combine resources to increase efficiency and
eliminate redundancy, with the ultimate goal of achieving financial success for our member credit unions. We
are seeing Association dues stretch further while seeing a continued increase in member service.
As the marketplace changes and credit unions face new challenges, our Association continues to provide relevant
and valued services and will remain a vital resource. Our Association has worked to increase communication
among our three states and create a true collaborative, tri-state network, which has expanded and deepened
relationships and involvement throughout the greater credit union community.
It has been one year and I can say that I am proud of the commitment and focus. No transition is perfect,
and we will always have work ahead of us if we are to persevere and continue to evolve as an organization, a
collaborative network and a movement. However, we are moving in a positive direction. In closing, I leave you
with a few words from Henry Ford, “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”

president’s messageI ran across a quote the other day that I had not seen before. It comes
from credit union pioneer Edward Filene. A very successful entrepreneur,
he saw the difference credit unions could make for the average American
and spent over a million dollars of his own money to help create the
movement we enjoy today. He said, “The door to success is always labeled ‘Push.’”
Throughout the history of the credit union movement there have always
been those individuals who pushed and made success happen. Much like
Filene they pushed their credit union, league or the Credit Union National
Association to new heights.
Today, we stand at the beginning of the Mountain West Credit Union Association. It plows new ground for credit unions in the United States. It’s the first time
that the credit unions in three states have come together in one association. While I could cite a myriad of
sound reasons for this move, the bottom line is that Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona credit unions made a
bold move to reach beyond their borders and pushed to find new ways to work together. I want to pay tribute
to the board members of each state organization and especially the chairmen, Marsha Tynsky, Bob Ramirez
and Mike Williams. I am extremely grateful for these great leaders that recognized change needed to happen
and pushed to create increased cooperation.
As our annual meeting theme suggests, we are constantly evolving to meet the needs of our members. We
are stepping up our efforts in the regulatory arena, doing more on behalf of credit unions with lawmakers
and the media, and developing new and innovative approaches to providing education and training. On top
of that, our service corporation, Strategic Partners, is adding new products and services. The merger has also
reduced redundancies and created over $500,000 in savings in our first full year.
Our goal is to be the type of organization where each and every credit union sees increasing value. We want
to see more and more credit unions working together for success and we want to be the catalyst for that
cooperation. Along those lines, there are currently credit unions that are not members of the Association.
We will be working hard to encourage them to rejoin. I would ask you, as peers, to invite them back to the
Association. If all the credit unions that are not members had joined this year, each credit union would have
seen a 12 percent reduction in their dues.
As I conclude this report, I want to thank each of you for your ongoing support. I also want to thank an
amazing staff who has come together more quickly than anyone would have guessed. They are committed to
our mission and the success of the credit union movement. I am honored to work with these fine individuals.
Let’s continue to “push through that door to success.”

assoCiation report
regulatory affairs & Compliance2011 marked the formation of a three-state regulatory subcommittee that has provided valuable input to
the Association and federal regulators on the impact of proposed regulation. It offers a much needed credit
union perspective in a rapidly changing regulatory environment. Member credit unions are encouraged
to provide comments, which often bring issues and perspectives to light, highlight potential unintended
consequences and offer possible alternatives.
Last year, Mountain West Credit Union Association expanded its compliance guidance and assistance to
credit unions. Our dedicated compliance team is focused on rapidly responding to credit union questions.
Weekly newsletters highlight timely and important state and federal compliance issues, while the online
library, InfoSight, is available 24/7 to answer common compliance questions with checklists, tables,
frequently asked questions, model forms and policies.
The compliance team visited over 50 credit unions and met with CEOs and senior staff to introduce
“InCompliance,” get feedback and learn about critical compliance needs. The “InCompliance” package
delivers both detailed and high-level information on new or proposed regulations. Its easy-to-understand
checklists and step-by-step guides are designed for all levels of member credit union staff to save time
when implementing regulatory changes.
Since the merger, the Regulatory Affairs and Compliance team has worked to significantly improve
regulatory advocacy efforts, including rule review and revision. They have held and participated in more
than ten meetings with state and federal regulators and have successfully intervened on behalf of credit
unions to help resolve examination issues and general regulatory problems.

advocacyMember participation in our advocacy and grassroots programs in 2011 has been overwhelming. We
have worked to expand our advocacy efforts through a variety of new and improved communications,
endorsement of credit union friendly candidates, community involvement, partnerships and grassroots
advocacy.
In 2011’s Hike The Hill, 18 credit union leaders and Association staff from Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming
traveled to Washington DC to visit with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. These are complex and challenging
times for credit unions. We never underestimate the importance of advocacy, and we value the passion and
efforts of our member credit unions to remain visible.
We hosted several legislative events throughout 2011 in an effort to show our appreciation for the credit
union friendly candidates who continue to support us. In Colorado, a roundtable was held at Elevations
Credit Union with Congressman Jared Polis, Congressman Scott Tipton visited Minnequa Works Credit
Union and a reception was held for Congressman Cory Gardner. In Arizona, advisory committees were set
up for Congressman David Schweikert and Ben Quayle. Arizona receptions were also held on behalf of Kirk
Adams for Congress, Ann Kirkpatrick for Congress and Representative Jeff Flake for U.S. Senate. Finally,
we attended a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau meeting with Assistant Director Elizabeth Vale.
Working together with the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and other Associations and Leagues
across the country on initiatives, such as Project Zip Code, has increased our grassroots strength as a
collaborative network. In 2011, we surpassed our Credit Union Legislative Action Council (CULAC) goal
in Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming by raising a total of $85,573. We continue to build and cultivate these
relationships with CUNA and other cooperative organizations in an effort to increase our grassroots strength.
educationIn 2011, 84% of affiliated credit unions attended one or more training sessions or events offered by the
Training & Education Department. Thirty five live programs, including conferences, schools and one-day
classes, were conducted in 18 cities. Additionally, we held 160 webinars and telephone trainings in which
compliance and mandate training topics were the most popular topics. In 2011, our members depended
on us to be one of the first places to offer required trainings under National Credit Union Association
(NCUA) Guidelines like Required Financial Literacy Training for Directors.
We are committed to keeping education and training affordable to smaller credit unions and offer all credit
unions under $35M in assets a small credit union discount for our conferences and schools.
In an on-going effort to support the development of credit union leaders, we launched the Credit Union
Leadership Institute in 2011. This eight-month intensive program is limited to non-CEO participants. The
inaugural class in Wyoming had 11 participants from nine member credit unions. The program has been
met with enthusiasm and the potential for tremendous growth as it expands to Arizona in 2012.

public relations and member CommunicationsIn 2011, Mountain West Credit Union Association continued to use public relations and communications to
keep member credit unions updated, to promote achievements, to offer assistance in developing situations
and to help educate consumers. Several newsletters, including the President’s Report, Association News,
Regulatory Compliance Update, CU Scoop and Education Updates, keep member credit unions on top of
events, trends and new information.
The Association works hard to cultivate relationships with media and other influential community leaders in
order to promote member credit unions’ achievements and the overall credit union message. We also work
hard to be a strong, reliable source for advice, talking points and other materials to help our member credit
unions with crisis communications and sudden hot topics in this demanding economic environment.
We have made efforts and taken steps to increase community outreach and member communications through
a variety of mediums. Our social media networks are expanding to provide increased connections and greater
opportunities. The consumer site and credit union locator, asmarterchoice.org, also continues to educate and
connect consumers and the community with member credit unions. Increased search engine optimization
(SEO) has additionally created a stronger online presence for our members.
The Association had great success last year with Credit Unions for Kids®, a program that enhances visibility
for credit unions while helping children in our communities. Arizona credit unions raised $429,000 to
help fund two hospitals in the Children’s Miracle Network, Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Tucson Medical
Center. Member credit unions in Colorado and Wyoming were introduced to Credit Unions for Kids®, and in
January 2012, a new steering committee was formed to facilitate the growth of the program.
Mountain West Credit Union Association is continuously investigating and investing in new technology to
connect members. Video conferencing is now being utilized to increase connections across state lines, and
we are introducing iMobile technology.
member services Membership is about collective strength and providing a unified voice. Mountain West Credit Union
Association exists to serve our member credit unions and we are working to expand our affiliation rate to
bring greater strength to the member services we provide.
It is our goal to provide red carpet member service, listen to the needs of our members and provide support,
relevant resources and opportunities for continued success and growth. From providing partnered solutions,
resources and education to fighting for regulatory relief and mobilizing our collective political power, we are
here to support our members and promote the credit union message.

strategiC partners’ report
Through joining forces in 2011, Mountain West has been able to leverage combined strengths to better serve our member credit unions in all three states. The evolution of Arizona Credit Union League Services and Credit Union Strategic Partners into the new group, Strategic Partners, allows us to bring the best products, strategies, compatibility-tested solutions, and business-critical services to your credit union. A new board is in place for 2012.
Strategic Partners will offer a more refined product with a dynamic core focus. The group is working to build a more comprehensive, collaborative network with national reach. They have already met with success as exclusive distributors in a new partnership with NeighborBench, a nationwide online compliance tool.
Compliance solutionsIn 2011, Compliance Solutions, a set of on-site consumer compliance reviews that have worked to improve credit union compliance operations since 2008, expanded to include Arizona member credit unions in addition to those in Colorado and Wyoming. Compliance Solutions now serves nearly 30 credit unions and sees great growth potential in the future.
After careful planning last year, Strategic Partners is pleased to announce a new, 2012 partnership with NeighborBench, an online compliance tool that provides a full array of consumer regulatory compliance reviews. The partnership gives Strategic Partners exclusive distributor rights in the credit union community nationwide. It’s an exciting start for 2012!
NeighborBench uses automated, cloud-based technology that simplifies compliance and will save member credit unions time and money. This state-of-the-art compliance tool provides credit unions with consumer compliance assessments in Operations, Deposits, Loans, Advertising, and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The automated approach provides near real-time assessments and is a powerful industry platform that will maximize compliance efficiency for our members.
Credit union advantageOur credit unions were aggressive in gaining loan growth last year. Credit Union Advantage had a 62% increase in loan volume in 2011 as they funded over 27,400 loans that resulted in $624 million for our partnering credit unions. Adding recreational vehicles (RVs) and increasing motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) business contributed to the outstanding increase.

treasurer’s reportJohn Uchida
TreasurerThe 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 subsidiaries, ACUL Services, Inc. (ACULS) and 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, 2011, on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Mountain West Credit Union Association and its subsidiaries.
Since the Association owns 100% of ACULS and Strategic Partners, the net income from the for-profit subsidiaries is combined with the income from the non-profit trade association. The consolidated financial statements of Mountain West Credit Union Association, ACULS and Strategic Partners reflect total assets of $16,903,709 and net assets (capital) of $15,762,904. Net assets as of July 1, 2011, the date that the newly merged entity began, were $15,441,910. The activities that result in this increase to net assets of $320,994 are operating revenues of $3.8 million, operating expenses of $4.0 million, realized and unrealized net loss on investments of $109,573, income taxes of $51,127, amortization of intangible asset of $40,000, other comprehensive loss of $144,756, and most significantly is the inherent contribution of $894,021 which is a result of the accounting treatment for the merger.
From the for-profit perspective of ACULS, 2011 shows a before tax net gain of $94,377, versus a slightly higher net gain in 2010 of $102,972. The Board of Directors of Mountain West Credit Union Association voted to dissolve and liquidate ACULS effective December 31, 2011. At that time ACULS’ assets and liabilities were returned to its parent, Mountain West Credit Union Association. In 2012, ACULS’ business activities and its service and endorsement contracts will be assigned to Strategic Partners.
From the for-profit perspective of Strategic Partners, 2011 shows a before tax net gain of $103,177, versus a net loss in 2010 of $2,700,516. This year-over-year variance is due to the building impairment of $2,987,000 in 2010; excluding the write-down of the building, Strategic Partners had a before tax net gain in 2010 of $286,484. Contributing to this year-over-year net operating income variance of ($183,307) is a gain on the sale of an investment in 2010 of $298,069, and $277,421 higher gross income across most product and service lines. Offsetting this is a year-over-year decrease in net expenses of $402,195.
The combined balance sheet shows a healthy and liquid condition with 53% 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.
Respectfully submitted,John Uchida, Treasurer
