WASHINGTON, DC (December 10, 2014) -- The National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) has promoted Alicia Nealon from the position of regulatory affairs counsel to director of regulatory affairs.
“Alicia has been extremely helpful in making sure our members’ interests are well represented before NCUA, CFPB and other federal agencies having an impact on credit unions,” said NAFCU Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and General Counsel Carrie Hunt. “I can’t think of a better leader fitted to guide our association’s regulatory affairs team than Alicia.”
As head of NAFCU’s regulatory affairs division, Nealon will serve as staff liaison to federal regulatory agencies; assist in handling the development and implementation of the association’s regulatory policies; and conduct analysis, interpretation and explanation of policy issues having an impact on NAFCU’s members. The regulatory affairs staff issue regulatory alerts to NAFCU members, speak at credit union events and the association’s conferences, participate in webcasts and write regulatory articles for certain NAFCU publications.
Nealon joined NAFCU in December 2013 as regulatory compliance counsel. In February 2014, she was named regulatory affairs counsel.
Prior to joining NAFCU, Nealon worked in the Office of General Counsel at the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Nealon is a graduate of the Duquesne University School of Law and holds a bachelor’s degree from St. Joseph’s University. She is a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar and the American Bar Association.
The National Association of Federal Credit Unions is the only national trade association that exclusively represents the interests of federally chartered credit unions before the federal government and the public.
