RECOGNITION OF ROBERT MARQUETTE, NEWLY ELECTED DIRECTOR ON THE BOARD OF 
           THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TIM HOLDEN

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 23, 2004

  Mr. HOLDEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bob Marquette, the 
president and CEO of Members 1st Federal Credit Union, headquartered in 
Mechanicsburg, PA, on his recent election to the Board of Directors of 
the National Association of Federal Credit Unions, NAFCU. Bob has been 
a vocal supporter of credit union issues at both the state and national 
levels.
  Bob's election to the NAFCU board is just one more in a long list of 
accomplishments that has spanned more than 30 years of service in the 
credit union movement. Bob serves on the board of directors for both 
the Credit Union Campaign for Consumer Choice and the Pennsylvania 
Credit Union Foundation. Additionally, Bob serves on the Philadelphia 
Fed's Credit Union Advisory Council. Bob is a tireless advocate of the 
credit union movement and I am sure he will serve NAFCU, and the entire 
credit union community, well in his new position on the board of 
directors.
  Under Bob's management Members 1st FCU has continued to flourish. 
Today, Member's 1st has 15 branches serving more than 93,000 
Pennsylvanians living and working in the south central region of the 
State.
  It is because of the good work of Bob and others like him that the 
credit union movement enjoys the success it has today. As the 
President/CEO of Members 1st, Bob has focused on ensuring his members 
receive helpful, personal service that caters to the needs of 
individual members and their financial goals. Such service is the 
hallmark of the credit union movement and Members 1st has exemplified 
that philosophy under Bob's tenure as president. I wish Bob good luck 
in his new role as a member of the NAFCU Board of Directors.
