“I met Scott and Alison at the CUNA GAC in 2019 through our mutual friend, Bo McDonald of YMC. What I immediately loved about them is that they are very down to Earth and relatable people; the conversations were easy and deeper than typical vendor conversations. I met them knowing they were rock stars in the credit union space, yet there were no egos in the room. We were just people who love serving credit union members. That initial feeling has never changed. It was an easy decision to partner with Scott and his team when we chose to become a CDFI. There was an ease and comfort in dealing with them. Our team at YCUP, Scott, Alison, and Alejandra, have been great to work with in both obtaining CDFI certification and in the grant and reporting process. I rely on their expertise and their no-nonsense approach to answering my questions (at times many questions!). I appreciate that they truly believe in the work they are doing and it shines brightly in how they serve us and our peers. I, and my credit union, are blessed with this partnership.”

“Scott has been our catalyst and partner in our journey from a small and shrinking, not very profitable community credit to a vibrant, growing, profitable Juntos Avanzamos CDFI that is changing the lives and financial well-being of our Hispanic and low/moderate income members and strengthening our communities. Thank you Scott!”

YourCUPartner provides the expertise, resources, and guidance needed to reach success. Scott and Alison are both personable, knowledgeable, and available to answer my questions. YourCUPartner always delivers consistent and comprehensive support!”

“Lewis Clark Credit Union is extremely grateful for our partnership with Scott, Alison, and Alejandra. They quickly became an extension of our Credit Union Family. We feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with Scott and his team and consider them good friends and colleagues, not only for their expertise in the field, but for their compassion for small credit unions. If there are grant or award dollars that we should be pursuing, they are the first ones to reach out and bring it to our attention. Scott has facilitated many board strategic planning meetings for our credit union, and who better to do that than our grant writer who knows the ins and outs of our credit union. Because of Scott and his teams help, we were able to obtain Secondary Capital through the ECIP and we won the Credit Union Lottery for being awarded an RRP Grant for $1.8 Million. Becoming a CDFI Credit Union, has really boosted our Credit Union’s success and growth. Credit Unions are extremely lucky to have friends like Scott and his team in our industry.”
President/CEO, Lewis Clark CU

Time and again, they’ve provided crucial guidance to expand our reach and support for the underserved residents of communities we serve. I consider Your CU Partner nothing short of a trusted member of our team.”

“Aptly named Your CU Partner, Scott and Alison have a unique gift of making their company more than just a typical vendor relationship—they’re truly a partner, they care about their clients’ successes, and they take immense pride and accountability for their work. Scott has not only helped us write numerous successful CDFI grants, but he has also facilitated our planning sessions and jumped on countless calls with me to guide me and provide direction towards diverse objectives. Scott is a shining star in our industry and Magnolia can’t thank him enough for the indelible contributions he has made to our credit union.”

“As credit union consultants go, we were looking for a hero. Someone who understands, supports, advocates, and loves credit unions as much as we do. Enter, Your Credit Union Partner. Scott, Alison and team have set the bar high as far as partner relationships go. They’re easy to work with, flexible, professional, and trustworthy. Time and time again, they’ve proven to not only be a credit union hero but an industry hero as well.”
