Fred Becker has spent the last 12 years working tirelessly to advance credit union issues. He has championed credit unions — advocating an increase in the credit union member business lending cap, expanding credit union participation in the Small Business Administration programs and the creation of a new risk-based capital regime. During the most recent debate on financial services reform, he advocated for a credit union exemption from the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and removal of interchange fee restrictions. www.nafcu.org
