Troy Stang

Confirmation of Tanya Otsuka:
The Credit Union Movement will be well-served by Tanya Otsuka’s service to the NCUA Board of Directors. Ms. Otsuka has a distinguished career in public service and is a proven financial services industry thought leader. We look forward to collaborating with her in the pursuit of policies in the best interests of credit unions and the more than 130 million consumers they serve.

Appreciation of Rodney Hood’s service:
Nominated by two Presidents for a position on the NCUA Board of Directors, Rodney Hood went above and beyond in fulfilling the agency’s mission of protecting the cooperative, member-owned charter. During his time as a director and as Chair of the Board, Mr. Hood guided effective regulatory advancements, looked out for the best interests of members of credit unions, and advanced policies that helped credit unions to best serve those members. We hope that in his next chapter, Mr. Hood will continue to be a part of the Credit Union Movement where he has left such a remarkable
footprint.

Appreciation of Lenwood Brooks’ service:
Regulatory agencies’ effectiveness is driven not only by their leaders but by the expertise of their teams. In his service to the NCUA, both as a Senior Advisor to Rodney Hood and as NCUA’s former Chief of Staff, Lenwood Brooks provided exemplary strategic insights and was always available to meet with credit union leaders to discuss policies that would help them best serve their members. We wish Mr. Brooks well in his new role as Vice President, Director of Government & Industry Relations for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, and thank him for his dedicated service to NCUA from 2019-2023.
