Berger delivers Washington & Industry Update at DCUC today

NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger will provide defense credit union leaders with a Washington & Industry Update during today's general session of the 54th Annual Conference of the Defense Credit Union Council in San Diego.

The conference, which began Sunday, also marks the recent changing of the guard at the DCUC, which has just welcomed Anthony R. Hernandez as its new president and CEO. Hernandez, who first joined the DCUC as its chief operating officer last August, has succeeded Arty Arteaga. Arteaga retired from the group's top executive post July 31.

Arteaga, who most recently participated in NAFCU's Defense Credit Union Summit this June, led the DCUC for more than 17 years and is being recognized during tonight's Hall of Honor Dinner at the conference.

"NAFCU has enjoyed a strong working relationship with the DCUC throughout Arty's tenure, and we have especially appreciated the insight he has shared during our yearly summits and in discussions of the issues affecting NAFCU members with links to the defense community," said Berger. "We wish Arty all the best, and we look forward to continuing our work together as the council goes forward under Tony's leadership."

Hernandez, as DCUC's president and CEO, is the council's top staff liaison with the Department of Defense on matters affecting defense credit unions.

The DCUC's conference continues through Wednesday.
