Mary Anne Bradfield will become NCUA’s Director of Public and Congressional Affairs, effective Dec. 18, the agency announced Thursday.

Mark McWatters said. “Both of those are qualities important in this position. Mary Anne’s expertise in management, strategic planning, and communications will serve the agency and the credit union system well.”

Bradfield comes to the NCUA from the Small Business Administration (SBA), where she served as chief of staff to SBA Administrator Linda McMahon, recruiting and organizing a high-performing team of business professionals.
