Harbin, Kennedy to join NAFCU Board; Kenyon, Schlehuber, DeWitt reelected
NAFCU's 2020 Board of Directors election ended Wednesday and saw James Kenyon (President/CEO, Whitefish Credit Union, Montana) reelected to his at-large seat, announced NAFCU Board Secretary Gary Grinnell. In addition, Lisa Schlehuber (CEO, Elements Financial Federal Credit Union, Indiana) and Thomas DeWitt (President/CEO, State Farm Federal Credit Union, Illinois) had previously won their reelections outright for the at-large seat and Western Region Director, respectively.
Two new members will join the association's 2020 Board of Directors: Karen Harbin (President/CEO, Commonwealth Credit Union, Kentucky) won an at-large seat and Melanie Kennedy (President/CEO, Southwest Financial Federal Credit Union, 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 the association's headquarters in Arlington, Va., and via video conference.
NAFCU will announce the board's new officers following the annual business meeting.
