Mountain Credit Union has announced the promotion of Suzie Shook to Chief Executive Officer, following the retirement of Amy Woody, who had served as CEO since September 2020.

Shook brings more than 30 years of credit union experience to the role, having dedicated her entire professional career to Mountain Credit Union since joining the organization in July 1993 as a Member Service Representative. 

“Suzie’s career at Mountain Credit Union reflects the strength of our organization and the opportunities that exist within it,” said Joey Webb, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “Her experience, leadership and commitment to our members and communities make her the right person to lead Mountain Credit Union into the future.”

Throughout her leadership journey, Shook has played a pivotal role in strengthening Mountain Credit Union’s compliance, fraud prevention, risk management and operational programs. She built and led the organization’s compliance team, developed policies and procedures, implemented monitoring and reporting systems, and worked extensively with the Board on regulatory compliance and Bank Secrecy Act oversight.
