Indianapolis, Indiana.
After more than three decades at the helm, Indiana Credit Union League CEO John McKenzie announced he will retire at the end of 2026. The League’s Board of Directors has named Chris Beaumont as president, effective immediately, with plans for him to assume the president/CEO role following McKenzie’s retirement.
McKenzie, who has led the League since 1990, has been instrumental in advancing advocacy, expanding services and strengthening Indiana’s credit union movement. Under his leadership, League assets grew from under $1 million in retained earnings to more than $30 million, while the state’s credit union membership increased by more than one million Hoosiers.
During his tenure, the League fought key legislative battles, including preserving the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and securing expanded field-of-membership options for state-chartered credit unions. McKenzie also championed major service initiatives, such as a statewide shared branching network serving 80% of Indiana’s 2.8 million credit union members.
“It has been an honor to work for decades to further the success of Indiana’s credit unions and the League,” McKenzie said.
Beaumont, who joined the League in 1997, has served in several senior leadership roles, most recently as EVP of League Services and Advocacy. “John has worked hard to build a deeply successful organization,” Beaumont said. “I look forward to building on the League’s strengths and successes.”
The Indiana Credit Union League represents credit unions serving more than 2.8 million members statewide.
