Over the decade that Schools has led the Virginia Beach-based credit union, Chartway has grown to nearly $3.1 billion in assets and 260,000 member-owners.
With locations in Utah, Texas and Virginia, the credit union has more than 600 employees. Among new developments: Chartway opened a new East Beach branch in Norfolk in December 2024 and a new location on Pacific Avenue in Virginia Beach a month later.
In June, The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates, which represents credit unions across Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Virginia, named Chartway the 2024 Credit Union of the Year, praising the institution for “returning $40 million in dividends to members and significantly expanding their services, including new branches and advanced teller technology.”
Schools is immediate past chair of America’s Credit Unions, the trade organization born at the beginning of 2024 through a merger between the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions and the Credit Union National Association.
