Metsger to Take Oath of Office as NCUA Board Member Aug. 23

ALEXANDRIA, VA (August 14, 2013) -- The Honorable Richard T. “Rick” Metsger will be sworn in and join the National Credit Union Administration Board Friday, Aug. 23, at 10 a.m. in a private ceremony on Capitol Hill. NCUA General Counsel Michael McKenna will deliver the oath of office.

President Barack Obama nominated Metsger to the NCUA Board May 16. The Senate Banking Committee held Metsger’s confirmation hearing June 27, and the U.S. Senate confirmed his nomination Aug. 1. His term will expire Aug. 2, 2017.

Metsger replaces former Board Member Gigi Hyland, who left the agency in October 2012, on the three-person NCUA Board.

Metsger has selected David Shetler, a 26-year agency veteran and currently Deputy Director of the Office of National Examinations and Supervision, to serve as his interim Senior Policy Advisor until a permanent candidate is selected.

Once Metsger has joined the Board, he can be reached at 703-518-6303.
