Each League has its own volunteer chairman and board of directors elected by member credit unions in the respective states.

The League shared its first headquarters with East Bay Postal Credit Union on the second floor of the Oakland Post Office.

Throughout the years, the League's headquarters moved from the Bay Area to Pomona to Rancho Cucamonga to its current location in Ontario, California.

The League's first annual meeting was held in 1970; the same year the first issue of its flagship publication, Nevada Nuggets, was published.

In October 1995, the 15 credit union members of the Nevada League voted unanimously to support the agreement, which went into effect January 1, 1996.
