New League Board Executive Committee

Following the League Annual Meeting, the Board met to elect officers for the coming year.

• Joe Thomas, of NextMark Credit Union, will serve as Chairman.
• Jeff Bentley, of Northwest Federal Credit Union, will serve as Vice Chairman.
• Paul Muse, of 1^st Advantage Federal Credit Union, will serve as Treasurer.
• Janine Williams, of UVA Community Credit Union, will serve as Secretary.

We were also pleased to honor two departing Board members who chose not to seek re-election.

Stan Leicester, of BayPort Credit Union, served for 20 years on the League Board of Directors, including service as chairman in 2008 and 2009. Stan was a driving force behind the creation of the Credit Union House of Virginia and the League’s office in downtown Richmond. He also helped the League raise more than $1 million in contributions from member credit unions to complete the project.

Patsy Stuard, of Fort Lee Federal Credit Union, was a two-term member of the League Board, most recently serving as Chairman. She is best known, however, for her many years as a leader in the League’s advocacy work, including service on various advocacy-related committees and for her exemplary support of the Virginia Credit Union Political Action Committee (VACUPAC).
