ALEXANDRIA, Va. (March 14, 2019) – The U.S. Senate today confirmed Rodney Hood and Todd Harper as National Credit Union Administration Board Members.

“I congratulate Rodney Hood and Todd Harper, and I look forward to working with both of them in a collegial, bipartisan manner,” NCUA Board Chairman J.

Both new Board Members will begin their terms after they are sworn into office. Rodney Hood will replace Board Member Rick Metsger, whose term expired in August 2017. His term will run until August 2023. Todd Harper fills the vacancy created when former Chairman Debbie Matz retired in 2016. His term will end in April 2021
