Christie L. Clark leads ACT 1st Federal Credit Union as CEO, President, and Treasurer, bringing two decades of experience in credit union operations. She rose from an administrative assistant role through progressively senior positions while completing a bachelor's degree in accounting and an MBA with honors, work she pursued while raising a family and working full-time. Since taking the top role in 2017, she has helped transform the organization from a teacher-focused institution into a community-based credit union spanning several counties across three states, growing membership and assets substantially along the way.
Clark champions the credit union movement's founding principle of people helping people, putting it into practice through affordable financial products and member-centered service. She also mentors emerging female business leaders through seminars and networking initiatives, and her strategic focus balances traditional personal service with modern digital capabilities, positioning the credit union as a values-driven alternative to conventional banks.
