CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliant Credit Union today announced that Meredith Ritchie, EVP, General Counsel and Chief Ethics & Government Affairs Officer, has been named a 2027 Chicago Titan 100 Honoree. This marks the second consecutive year Ritchie has received the distinction, having first been recognized as a 2026 Chicago Titan 100.
The Titan 100 program recognizes 100 of Chicago's leading CEOs and C-suite executives for their leadership, vision, and impact on the region's business community. Ritchie will be honored alongside this year's class of recipients at the 2027 Titan 100 awards event on Feb. 18, 2027.
Ritchie's second-year recognition reflects her continued leadership across business governance, financial wellness, leadership development, and community impact. At Alliant, she leads the Legal team, Ethics and Government Affairs, and has played a central role in preparing the credit union for regulatory oversight, advancing legislation important to credit unions and fintech investment, and strengthening governance practices and Board effectiveness.
Her impact also goes beyond the traditional responsibilities of a general counsel. Ritchie leads and has helped shape the Alliant Credit Union Foundation, including its focus on improving financial well-being.
"Being recognized as Titan 100 is incredibly meaningful and humbling," said Ritchie. "More importantly, it has connected me to an extraordinary community of local leaders committed to growth, innovation, and service. Leadership is an ongoing journey, and this recognition challenges me to continue thinking about new ways Alliant and I can positively impact the community and the next generation of leaders."
Ritchie's recognition underscores Alliant's broader commitment to cultivating leaders who drive meaningful progress for members, employees, and the communities Alliant serves.
