Chelsea Best
Community Development Manager
With almost a decade of experience in client relations and operational leadership, Chelsea is fueled by her love for community impact—and a good challenge. She’s on a mission to help credit unions shake things up and, better support underserved communities. When she’s not making things run smoother, Chelsea is probably brainstorming creative ways to solve problems or diving into the next big project with her signature blend of energy and passion.
Chelsea made her way to us via our sister company Callahan & Associates, where she spearheaded the implementation of a new client support system, streamlining processes and earning a flawless 100% client satisfaction rate. Her unique ability to balance multiple teams and projects has earned her a reputation for being an organized, results-oriented leader who thrives on making things run smoother and more efficiently.
Chelsea is inspired by CU Strategic Planning’s mission to uplift low-income communities and is excited to bring her skills and energy to a team dedicated to real change. When she’s not helping credit unions evolve, she's exploring new culinary landscapes with her husband in Virginia, ever on the hunt for the next unforgettable meal.
Passionate about continuous growth, community service, and creating positive change, Chelsea is always looking for ways to make a difference – both at work and in the world around her.
