As we look back on the past year, one thing is prevalent: Now, more than ever, we must remain vigilant in our pursuit of forwarding the credit union movement. From all sides, attacks come. Whether it’s

increasing regulations, data breaches, or threats to our tax status; the very things that make us unique are the things that are targeted.

The founding principle of cooperation among cooperatives is one of the strongest assets the movement has. When we present a united front, we are powerful and persuasive. As we look to the future, our ability to collaborate with other credit unions, and as the Association, will be the driving factor in our success.

In our region, our highly effective approaches to Hill visits and regulatory strategy have proven this to be true. Our combined forces are a show of strength to our Congressional delegation, as well as to state and local governments. We have successfully led or influenced a number of legislative initiatives which have been beneficial to the movement.

We will continue to face challenges head on and with a common voice. From the ongoing threat of data breaches, to increased regulatory burdens and even changes within our movement, we will press on and strive to grow. We focus on our desire to serve and explore untapped markets.

We should pause and celebrate our victories in order to fuel our drive for the future. Our Regulatory Hike-the-Hill effort has gained momentum and this past year, we built upon the success of the initial hike in 2014. Credit union CEOs and senior staff, and Association staff met with senior officials from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to express our thoughts and concerns over regulatory burden and field of membership.

On the legislative front, credit unions tallied victories in Congress. Most prominent, was the transportation bill, which was passed and signed into law and contained three notable provisions for credit unions: Privacy Notice Modernization, CFPB Rural Designation Improvements, and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Eligibility for Privately Insured Credit Unions. In addition, the federal government spending bill that passed in December contained additional positive provisions for credit unions including a study of requirements involving mortgage servicing, assets, and cybersecurity information-sharing among the government and private industry. Looking forward, we head into the busy election cycle poised and ready to make an impact that benefits our credit unions.

Once again, we saw Association member credit unions utilize the education and training opportunities offered. 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. The Board of Directors remains committed to supporting Association members and providing the best resources possible. Together, we are better and together, our future remains bright.

I n 2014 we put a name on our number one priority at the Association: Credit Unions First. In 2015, this line of thinking became the undercurrent to fuel our activities. It became the measuring stick by which we prioritize our

actions. We can look at 2015 and see how we have been able to not only face challenges, but bring forth some positive outcomes as a result of this focus.

In 2015, we have seen tremendous examples of collaboration and cooperation. We have been able to partner credit unions together in new ways to have verifiable positive impacts in areas like legislative action and public affairs. It is that spirit that encourages us to work even harder.

The Association is heavily focused on providing the best value for our member credit unions. For you, our valued member, this guarantees an assurance that our strategic priorities align with yours. Advocacy, regulatory relief, member services, and education and training remain at the forefront of our offerings.

In a climate of noise and clutter, advocacy and political action remain our top priorities. Our united voice - largely driven by our passionate credit union leaders - helps narrow the focus for our legislative delegation and allows them to realize the impact that credit unions have for the member, the community and the country.

Our regulatory team continues to seek out ways to better serve and ease the burden on our credit unions. This, coupled with our legislative actions, is benefitting our credit unions. We were able to see some relief with the passage of legislation at the end of 2015, and we are confident this trend will continue through the collective efforts of our movement.

Each year, the Association provides a stellar lineup of education offerings. These opportunities, coupled with our innovative leadership programs, provide our members with incredible training resources at minimal cost. And you are taking advantage! More than 89% of our membership participated in one or more of our programs last year. That is a powerful statement.

The Association will always strive to provide services and support that we know are important to our membership. There will always be challenges, but with the support of our Board, we continue to look at ways to refine and improve our offerings in order to best serve our membership.

Our highly engaged Board is the reason we are so successful. I sincerely thank our Board members for all their hard work and their continued involvement in our movement as a whole. I want to thank our Chairman, John Uchida, for all his hard work and dedication, not only to the Association and his credit union, but to all of us in the movement.

ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT REPORTGovernment Affairs Highlights

The government affairs team continued to stay busy in 2015. Notably, our combined efforts:

• Defeated interchange legislation in Colorado • Hosted the first ever joint financial roundtable with the Arizona Bankers’ Association • Saw a public funds bill make progress in Wyoming

On the legislative front, credit unions saw victories at the end of 2015 in the transportation and federal government spending bills.

Public affairs continues to carve out new ways to help our member credit unions share their stories and promote the movement.

GAC - The 2015 Government Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington, D.C. was a tremendous event with a focus on federal legislation and activities within Congress. The government affairs team combines this annual conference with Hike-the-Hill visits to provide a strategic element to the conference. In 2015, we coordinated and led hill visits to all of our federal delegations, focusing on data breach issues, regulatory burden and member business lending.

Colorado - The Association, with a grassroots effort and CEO engagement, was able to defeat interchange legislation that would have potentially cost credit unions in Colorado significantly. Arizona - The Association joined with the Arizona Bankers Association to host a financial institution roundtable, gathering elected officials to discuss issues common to both organizations. In a demonstration of cooperation, the two organizations jointly hosted Representatives David Schweikert (Congressional District 6) and Ruben Gallego (Congressional District 7). The representatives were given an industry update and participated in a more detailed discussion of the issues most relevant to financial institutions.

Wyoming - The State House and State Senate committee passed legislation addressing a positive position for credit unions with regards to public funds. Unfortunately the 2015 Wyoming session ran out of time before the legislation could be heard by the full State Senate. However, the progress made was substantial and will be beneficial for actions in years to come.

Legislative Victories – As 2015 drew to a close, credit unions tallied legislative victories in Congress. Most prominent was the transportation bill, which was passed and signed into law and contained three notable provisions for credit unions: Privacy Notice Modernization, CFPB Rural Designation Improvements, and FHLB Eligibility for Privately Insured Credit Unions. In addition, the federal government spending bill, which passed in December, contained positive provisions for credit unions including a study of requirements involving mortgage servicing, assets, and cybersecurity information-sharing among the government and private industry.

Political - The focus is now on the 2016 election, with the Presidency on the ballot and numerous statewide races. In Arizona, Representative Ann Kirkpatrick has announced that she is challenging Senator John McCain, opening a House seat. Colorado will have its own Senate race with Michael Bennett running for re-election. Our efforts will be focused on identifying and working with potential candidates, in addition to raising monies for our PAC and related efforts.

We continue to see significant growth across our social media platforms. Our grassroots teams had another record year and our advocacy teams grew by 747. The Mountain West Credit Union Association now has 35,427 total grassroots advocates across all three states. Our social media following on Facebook has increased to 2,044 followers on six channels. Our Twitter platform had the largest increase, with 1,953 new followers in 2015.  Public Affairs - Public affairs continues to provide Association member credit unions with strategic counsel, public relations support, training and media relations activities. In 2015, a collaborative effort of Mountain West Credit Union Association public affairs and Landings Credit Union was named Best Public Relations Project in CUNA’s Blockbuster awards competition. Public Affairs has also led media relations efforts for cooperative projects, including International Credit Union Day in Wyoming, the World Council of Credit Unions/America’s Credit Union Conference (held in Denver 2015), and multiple announcements from member credit unions, the Association and the Mountain West Credit Union Foundation.

Hike the Hill tops Regulatory Affairs Highlights

Building on the success of the inaugural Regulatory Affairs Hike-the-Hill from 2014, the Association held its second annual Regulatory Hike-the-Hill to Washington, D.C. in September 2015. Credit union CEOs and senior staff, and Association staff met with senior officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). We urged the NCUA to continue to strengthen advocacy efforts with other agencies, particularly the CFPB, to help reduce the regulatory burden on credit unions. Other discussion topics included field of membership, member business lending and examination improvements. Discussions with the CFPB focused primarily on overdraft protection by asking them to allow flexibility to serve the unique needs of our memberships. We also provided the agencies with real world examples of how over-regulation has resulted in direct harm to consumers, including higher costs and reduced services. Hike participants also attended the NCUA open board meeting.

Joe Neguse, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, announced a Division of Financial Services Stakeholder Group. Eleven state-chartered credit union professionals were named to the group along with Mark Robey, SVP of Regulatory Affairs for the Association. The group has discussed topics including public funds, marijuana businesses, funding employee benefit plans with split-dollar insurance policies, and interstate branching.

In November, Patty Salazar was named the Commissioner of Financial Services in Colorado. The Association hosted a meet and greet to give CEOs the opportunity to meet Ms. Salazar and hear her regulatory philosophy. The team also met separately with Commissioner Salazar and Deputy Commissioner Mark Valente to discuss the Association’s legislative and regulatory agendas for 2016. The team will continue to work on developing and growing these relationships to better position the interests of our credit unions.

The Association team met with Lauren Kingry, former Superintendent, and Tamilee Smull, Financial Institutions Manager of the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions to discuss the Association’s legislative and regulatory agendas for 2016. Similar to the reaction in Colorado, Mr. Kingry and Ms. Smull did not voice opposition, but reserved judgment until draft language could be reviewed. We also continued discussions regarding the Department’s responsiveness to credit unions. Ms. Smull stated she felt significant improvements had been made towards credit unions receiving timely responses to their requests. Mark Robey surveyed all but two Arizona state-chartered credit unions, and the responses generally confirmed Ms. Smull’s assertions. We continue to monitor the Superintendent vacancy left by Mr. Kingry’s departure.

NCUA board member Mark McWatters attended the Arizona CEO Roundtable in December.

The Regulatory Affairs team continues its development of a small credit union compliance initiative, gathering input from small credit unions with assets of less than $100 million. Plans to strategize on how the Association can better meet the compliance needs of small credit unions, as well as finalizing the initiative are in place for 2016.

Education and training continue to help advance members’ development

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 advanced ACH specialist, BSA compliance, director, HR, IRA, new account and required compliance webinar series help keep costs manageable.

Together, we navigated the complicated and challenging world of compliance and regulation and with that added a Lending Compliance School and Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) trainings. We expanded educational access through distance learning and video conferencing programs. We saw more than 2,000 registrations for 200+ webinars, network councils, schools and conferences. In-person trainings took place by live and virtual classroom in 10 cities throughout our states. In 2015, our program rating remained high with an average 4.6 rating on a 1-5 scale (with 5 being the highest score).

ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT REPORTNow more than ever, Mountain West is committed to developing future credit union leaders. In its fifth year, our Credit Union Leadership Institute graduated 30 new leaders in the rigorous nine month program. The prestigious Foundation Executive Leadership Program currently has 12 future leaders from all three states immersed in a five-year leadership development process.

Networking Councils were offered in 2015 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, HR/Trainers, Lending, Marketing, and the new Community Development council.

The numbers showcase the success:

• More than 340 attendees participated in the 2015 Annual Meeting & Convention in Phoenix, AZ• 89% of member credit unions participated in the Association’s training programs• The five networking councils garnered 238 credit union attendees• With six locations in our three states, member credit unions have greater access to one

another and to training opportunities. Our video conference technology allowed us to hold a multi-city conference for the first time, where the 2015 Marketing Summit was broadcast from both Denver and Tucson with speakers and a live audience in both cities.

Additionally, Denver was the backdrop for the 2015 America’s Credit Union Conference and World Council’s World Credit Union Conference which meant that more Mountain West members than ever participated in the annual international event.

The Association’s member credit unions made significant achievements in 2015 in

community outreach.

Each 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 Challenge, CU4Kids chocolate bar sales, Miracle Balloon Paper Icon Sales, Miracle Jeans Day and numerous other individual credit union-sponsored and organized fundraisers.

In 2015, contributions to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through Credit Unions for Kids in Arizona, Colorado, and Wyoming totaled $804,477.

Wyoming n/a n/a $9,362

Total $615,135 $747,988 $804,477

In 2015, we recognized several member credit unions’ achievements: three statewide first place awards, one statewide second place award, and one statewide honorable mention were presented. Also, during the 2016 GAC, one member credit union received a national honorable mention from CUNA to recognize its work in adult financial education.

According to reports from the National Youth Involvement Board (NYIB), member credit unions in Arizona reported providing 240 financial literacy presentations to 7,066 students, and member credit unions in Colorado reported providing 443 presentations, reaching 28,209 students during the 2014–2015 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.

With best-in-class solutions in compliance, lending, operations, technology, and member growth and loyalty, Strategic Partners provides the innovative products that are critical for the credit union of today and beyond.

Key Highlights for 2015

• The Arizona-based indirect lending program continues to deliver outstanding results for the participating credit unions. At the end of 2015 the program had funded 52,351 Indirect Loans in AZ for over $1.3 billion. Arizona is a hot market for indirect lending so with all the aggressive competition coming into the arena, we are very pleased that our volume grew by $135 million over 2014. Plans are in place to expand our market and product offerings to assist our credit unions in recapturing their members and gain new members through the indirect loan channel. We are currently exploring and working on the implementation of a program in the NE Colorado region.

• Love My Credit Union Rewards - The Sprint program is still going strong, with 1,905 CUs currently supporting it, 1.8 million activations, and $652 million saved by members. TurboTax is also a strong performer, with 1,508 credit unions participating and over $11 million in member savings.

• Universal Identity - Credit Union Strategic Partners has initiated a relationship with Evernym, based in Utah. The initiative is to create a credit union industry universal identity solution using blockchain technology to eliminate ID theft and fraud. This initiative will be presented to key credit union organizations to gauge viability and potential investment.

• AffirmX - The Compliance management program, which has become a valuable asset for many credit unions throughout the three state region, continues to be an integral part of their compliance solution. All compliance platform users stayed with the program in 2015. Overall there are 34 compliance platform users and two Enterprise Risk Assessment users.

The consolidated financial statements of Mountain West Credit Union Association and Strategic Partners reflect total assets of $18,797,241 and net assets (capital) of $17,194,475. Net assets as of December 31, 2014 were $17,385,561.

From the for-profit perspective of Strategic Partners, 2015 shows an after tax net gain of $53,119 versus the after tax net gain in 2014 of $26,921. Contributing to this year-over year variance is $253,623 less in Revenue, $293,026 less in Operational Expense and $13,205 more in Income Tax Expense in 2015. Strategic Partners ended 2015 with total assets of $13,310,162 and Total Stockholder’s Equity of $11,971,962, versus Total Stockholder’s Equity as of December 31, 2014 of $12,109,334.
