WASHINGTON, DC (December 15, 2016) — The National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) President and CEO Dan Berger issued the following statement on the passing of former NAFCU Chair Jim Mills.
“Jim Mills was an exceptional leader and dedicated credit union advocate. Throughout his term on the board and as chair, he helped us advance credit unions and accomplish the 1998 Credit Union Membership Access Act, landmark legislation that preserved multiple-group charters for federal credit unions,” said Berger. “Jim’s contribution to the industry and this association will be long remembered, and he will be missed. NAFCU is grateful for his service.”
Mills was elected to the NAFCU Board in 1997 as Region IV director, and he served until 2003, the last three years as chair.
The National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions is the only national trade association focusing exclusively on federal issues affecting the nation’s federally-insured credit unions. NAFCU membership is direct and provides credit unions with the best in federal advocacy, education and compliance assistance. For more information on NAFCU, go to www.nafcu.org or @NAFCU on Twitter.
