Alexandria, VA – The United States Senate Federal Credit Union (USSFCU) is proud to announce that their President and CEO Timothy L. Anderson has been named the 2025 CEO of the Year by the MD|DC Credit Union Association. This prestigious award honors Anderson’s visionary leadership, deep commitment to the credit union movement, and dedication to building an inclusive, mission-driven culture at USSFCU.

A People-First Approach to Leadership

Since taking the helm in 2019, Anderson has led USSFCU with a strategic, people-first philosophy that has reshaped the organization’s workplace culture.

“Tim has helped transform USSFCU from a workplace into a community,” said Board Chair Jay Moore. “He empowers people to grow, champions internal talent, and invests in his team at every level.”

His focus on employee development and wellbeing has earned USSFCU consecutive Top Workplace honors from The Washington Post and USA Today.

Driving Member Growth and Innovation

Under Anderson’s leadership, USSFCU has surpassed $1.5 billion in assets and enhanced its member experience with innovations including:

  • A modern, secure online and mobile banking platform
  • An after-hours call center for extended support
  • Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs)
  • The elimination of overdraft and NSF fees

These enhancements reflect Anderson’s commitment to financial inclusion and service excellence.

Investing in Community Impact

Anderson has expanded USSFCU’s role in the community through partnerships that provide free financial counseling, credit-building resources, and youth education programs. In 2024, USSFCU donated over $65,000 to local nonprofits and led seasonal donation drives benefiting regional causes.

A Leader in the Credit Union Movement

Nationally recognized as an innovative and mission-driven leader, Anderson previously chaired the African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) and was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2023.

He currently serves on the boards of the MD|DC Credit Union Association and Credit Union Miracle Day and has held leadership roles with CUNA (now America’s Credit Unions) and USSFCU’s CUSO. With more than 30 years of executive experience, Anderson continues to influence the future of credit unions while advancing USSFCU’s mission of financial empowerment.
