The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has named Kyle Hauptman, the agency’s vice chairman, as its board liaison to the Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) and the National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors (NASCUS).
“As we work to improve the regulatory environment for federally insured credit unions, it is essential that we engage with organizations like the council and NASCUS,” Chairman Rodney Hood said in a release. “I appreciate Vice Chairman Hauptman accepting these board assignments, and I know he will ensure the NCUA maintains a productive working relationship with these important stakeholders.”
DCUC is a defense trade association representing the interests of defense credit unions serving the U.S. armed forces around the world. NASCUS advocates for a strong and healthy state credit union system. Hauptman’s appointment as board liaison to these groups includes reporting back to the NCUA on priorities and recommendations of each.
“The council’s focus on serving those who serve our country is important for America and credit unions,” Hauptman said. “I look forward to learning more about the unique financial needs of our service men and women, and the role defense credit unions play in meeting those needs.
“I also look forward to working with NASCUS as it will provide me with a broader understanding of the credit union landscape. I appreciate being given these assignments by Chairman Hood, especially because I believe a strong partnership between NCUA and the state credit union system will help ensure a healthy and vibrant credit union industry.”
