ARLINGTON, Va. – James A. Kenyon, the president and CEO of Whitefish Credit Union in Whitefish, Mont., has been named to fill the vacant at-large seat on the NAFCU board.
Kenyon is the first NAFCU Board member from a state-chartered credit union, following a change by NAFCU in its bylaws and name: it is now the National Association of Federally Insured
“NAFCU is growing and looking ahead to an impressive year in federal advocacy, education and compliance assistance. We welcome Jim and the insight, experience and dedication he brings to the NAFCU leadership during this exciting time,” said NAFCU Chair Richard L.Harris, president and CEO of Caltech Employees Federal Credit Union.
“NAFCU is a respected and increasingly influential force for credit unions in Washington,” said Kenyon. “I look forward to serving on the board and helping to advance the interests of the credit union industry.”
Kenyon joined Whitefish Credit Union as its chief executive in September 2009. Chartered in 1934, Whitefish Credit Union has $1.4 billion in assets and is the largest credit union in Montana. The credit union has seven branches throughout the state and more than 58,000 members.
