NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – R. Scott Woods has been appointed as the new president and CEO of the $1 billion South Carolina FCU. He succeeds Robert Dargan who retired from the position in April. Woods has served as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of S.C. FCU since January 2004. S.C. Federal Chairman Mary Whited said the credit union performed an extensive due diligence search for a new president and determined Woods “was the best fit” because “he is very familiar with all aspects of effectively and efficiently managing the credit union's operations” since he served as the interim CEO and CFO since the beginning of the year. Woods joined South Carolina FCU in 1999 as VP of Finance. He has over 13 years experience in the credit union industry. He graduated from the College of Charleston with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and an MBA in Finance from Auburn University. He is a Certified Public Accountant, a Certified Internal Auditor, and a graduate of CUNA Financial Management School and CUNA Southeast Regional Credit Union Management School. South Carolina FCU has 136,000 members.
