NCUA Chairman Harper welcomes Otsuka nomination
ALEXANDRIA, VA (September 22, 2023) — National Credit Union Administration Chairman Todd M. Harper issued a statement welcoming President Joseph R. Biden’s nomination of Tanya Otsuka of Virginia to the NCUA Board:
“Tanya Otsuka is a committed public servant and a well-qualified nominee to serve on the NCUA Board. Tanya’s past work has strengthened the U.S. financial system, protected consumers, and advanced the ability of credit unions to innovate and compete. Tanya would also bring a different point of view to the work of the agency as the first Asian-American NCUA Board Member. If confirmed, I look forward to working with Tanya to protect the deposits of America’s nearly 138 million credit union members and to expand access to safe, fair, and affordable financial services to under-resourced communities. I hope the Senate acts quickly on her nomination.”
