This award commemorates a lifetime of achievement and service to the credit union movement. It honors individuals who have contributed immensely to their respective credit unions and to the Defense Credit Union Council.

Scearce served Andrews Federal Credit Union as a board volunteer, vice chairman (1999-2000), chair (2001-2004) and treasurer (2005-2022). Under Scearce’s leadership as board chair, Andrews Federal secured a community charter for the Washington, D.C. area, enabling the credit union to provide financial and educational resources to underserved portions of the community.

We are tremendously appreciative of his insight and knowledge as we have continued to expand our credit union and serve our members.”

In addition to his volunteer efforts on behalf of Andrews Federal, Scearce has actively supported DCUC as a senior Department of Defense consultant and on the Overseas Sub-Council. Scearce used his wide network of professional connections to support DCUC, advocate for credit unions, and strengthen connections with Pentagon and DoD senior leaders. 

Scearce’s volunteer efforts also include active participation in the American Society of Military Comptrollers, (past national president); the Association of Syracuse Army Comptrollers (past national president); the Association of Government Accountants; the Association of the United States Army; and the Flag and General Officers Network (board member).

During his 28 years of service in the military, Scearce attained the most senior position in the Army Finance Corps.
