In January of 1955, Ruby Meaders founded the Los Alamos Schools Credit Union, out of her home just after the unveiling of the “Secret City”, of Los Alamos. She was more than glad to help with the need for non-governmetal businesses like grocery stores and financial institutions.

Ruby ran Los Alamos Schools Credit Union out of her home for about 5 years before moving into its current location and graciously gave up her own home phone number, which we still use to this day.

Bill Hudson was a founding member and volunteer Board member when the Credit Union began. Bill helped organize the dozen or so teachers to pool their money to start the Credit Union. Like Bill’s known role and influence in the community, he was a staunch supporter of our Credit Union movement, not-for-profit philosophy and principal of people helping people. Bill was a regular member and attended every annual meeting for over 55 years.

The Los Alamos Schools Credit Union has always been a state chartered credit union. Our Credit Union name reflects those who we serve, the Los Alamos and White Rock Education Community and their families.
