CEO and President of Lookout Credit Union Doug Chambers Recognized as 64th Idaho Business Leader of the Year

Doug Chambers, CEO and President of Lookout Credit Union, has been recognized as the 64th Idaho Business Leader of the Year (IBLOY).

The award annually recognizes an Idaho business leader who has demonstrated outstanding business and professional ethics while contributing significant support to community, civic, and education activities. Awarded by Idaho State University Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Development Fraternity since 1959, previous honorees have included a congressman, former governors, entrepreneurs, and leaders of some of Idaho’s largest companies. The recognition program is the longest-standing one of its kind in Idaho.

Chambers was chosen as this year’s winner for his outstanding leadership and transformative impact on Lookout Credit Union and the community. A seasoned professional with 18 years in the industry, Chambers assumed the role of CEO in 2019, leading Lookout Credit Union to unprecedented success. Armed with an MBA from Idaho State University and National Certified Business Lender credentials, Doug has been a driving force behind Lookout’s achievements.

Under his leadership, Lookout Credit Union has been consistently recognized as one of the best credit unions to work for in the nation for six years. The credit union has garnered over 60 Credit Union Diamond Awards, the 2022 Pocatello/Chubbuck Chamber Member of the Year Award, and numerous local and national accolades.

Alpha Kappa Psi, along with the College of Business and other members of the community, celebrated Chambers at an award dinner held at Idaho State University’s Stephen Performing Arts Center in March.

“Every part of our community is better because of Doug’s extraordinary leadership,” said College of Business Dean and Michael C. Ruettgers Professor of Marketing Shane Hunt. “We were thrilled to honor his great work at Lookout Credit Union and throughout our state.”
