ARLINGTON, Va.—NAFCU announced the results of its 2020 board of directors election.
James Kenyon, president/CEO of Whitefish Credit Union in Montana, was reelected to his at-large seat. In addition, Lisa Schlehuber, CEO of Elements Financial Federal Credit Union in Indiana, and Thomas DeWitt, president/CEO of State Farm Federal Credit Union in Illinois, had previously won their reelections outright for the at-large seat and Western Region Director, respectively.
Two new members will join the NAFCU board in 2020: Karen Harbin, president/CEO of Commonwealth Credit Union in Kentucky, won an at-large seat, while Melanie Kennedy, president/CEO of Southwest Financial Federal Credit Union in Texas, was elected as Southern Region Director.
"NAFCU's board of directors is comprised of outstanding credit unions leaders working tirelessly to strengthen the industry, and we are excited to welcome Karen Harbin and Melanie Kennedy to our board and welcome back those who continue to dedicate their time serving on our board," said NAFCU Board Chair Jeanne Kucey. "Our duty as board members is to offer sound advice as NAFCU builds its strategic plan for bold advocacy, compliance assistance, and education opportunities, and I have no doubt the experience and points of view Harbin and Kennedy bring will benefit our mission."
The terms will officially begin at the close of NAFCU's annual business meeting, scheduled for June 23 at its headquarters in Arlington, Va., and via video conference.
