Reaching impressive heights
2023 CUES Distinguished Director Scott Burt has played a crucial role in helping Mountain America Credit Union achieve phenomenal growth.
Scott Burt, CPA, is an accomplished leader with a remarkable track record as a board member and a CEO at organizations that are renowned for helping others. Burt’s dedication to the credit union movement spans 43 years of board service at Mountain America Credit Union in Salt Lake City, including six years as chair. In that time, he has played a crucial role in elevating the organization to become one of the nation’s most successful credit unions, serving over 1 million members across six states through 100-plus branch locations.
“I love my service at Mountain America and am full of gratitude for it,” says Burt, a CUES member. “The journey began over 40 years ago, inspired by the principle of people helping people. Our small $135 million shop has grown to over $18 billion in asset size, and I’ve been along for the whole journey. When we started, Mountain America was not even in the top 50 in asset size. Now we are number nine and continue to grow. The change at Mountain America has been transformative. We’ve worked hard to stay ahead of the curve.”
For his role at Mountain America CU and his strong dedication to the credit union movement, Burt was honored with the title of 2023 CUES Distinguished Director. Those who work most closely with him at the credit union affirm that the award is well-deserved.
