MADISON, Wis.— The National Credit Union Foundation said Fred Robinson, president and CEO of the Tennessee and Mississippi Credit Union Association, has been elected to its board of directors, filling a vacant league president seat.
Robinson was recommended by the Foundation’s Nominations Committee and then confirmed by the full board after accepting the appointment, the organization said.
"Fred brings a strong league perspective and a deep understanding of the credit union movement’s commitment to improving financial well-being," said Lauren Culp, executive director of the Foundation. "We know the important role Leagues play in connecting, strengthening, and advancing the credit union movement and Fred’s leadership and experience will help strengthen the Foundation’s ability to serve credit unions and the communities they impact."
Robinson also serves on the America’s Credit Unions board of directors and has long been an advocate for credit unions and the people they serve, NCUF said.
"It’s an honor to join the National Credit Union Foundation Board at a time when the credit union movement is more focused than ever on advancing financial well-being," said Robinson. "I see firsthand how partnership, innovation, and a deep commitment to people drive meaningful impact in our communities across Tennessee and Mississippi, and the Foundation plays a critical role in strengthening that work nationwide. I look forward to bringing another league perspective to help advance this important mission."
Robinson succeeds Juan Fernandez in the seat. The Foundation thanked Fernandez for his service and contributions to advancing the organization’s mission.
