Election Cycle for Some NAFCU Board Seats Now Open

ARLINGTON, Va.—The 2023 board election cycle for NAFCU is now open, with several director positions available.

The trade group noted that its regional board positions reflect the NCUA's regional offices and the open director positions include:

  • Western Region, full three-year term
  • Southern Region, full three-year term
  • Two At-Large, full three-year terms

Running for re-election are Western Region Director Stephanie Sherrodd, president and CEO of Sandia Laboratory FCU in Albuquerque; Southern Region Director Melanie Kennedy, president and CEO of Southwest Financial FCU in Farmers Branch, Texas, and At-Large Director and current NAFCU Board Treasurer Karen Harbin, president and CEO of Commonwealth Credit Union in Frankfort, Ky.

At-Large Director Jim Kenyon, president and CEO of Whitefish Credit Union, Whitefish, Mont., is not seeking reelection.

According to NAFCU, there are two ways to be nominated to run for any of the six open board seats:

  • Complete and submit a candidate application to the Nominating Committee
  • By petition, obtaining at least five valid nominating ballots from NAFCU members

Candidate applications are due to the committee March 15. Nominating ballots, which will go out April 5, must be returned by April 19. Official ballots for voting in both the regional and at-large elections will be sent April 26, NAFCU said.

The board election results will be announced at NAFCU's Annual Business Meeting, scheduled to be held June 27 during the association’s annual conference in Long Beach, Calif.
