                 CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. GARY EASTERLING

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BILL HUIZENGA

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 28, 2015

  Mr. HUIZENGA of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Gary L. Easterling on his recent election to the Board of Directors at 
the National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU).
  Since 2007, Mr. Easterling has served as the President and CEO of 
United Federal Credit Union headquartered in St. Joseph, Michigan. 
Under his leadership, the credit union has seen its assets more than 
double. United Federal Credit Union has over $1.8 billion in assets, 
serves over 130,000 members, and employs more than 900 people. With 
more than 32 years of credit union experience, Mr. Easterling will be 
an incredible federal advocate for credit unions.
  Mr. Easterling served previously as CEO of Century Credit Union in 
Cleveland, Ohio, and with Wright Patt Credit Union in Fairborn, Ohio, 
where he held leadership roles in almost every functional area. He 
holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Capital 
University in Columbus, Ohio, as well as a Master's in Business 
Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana. He 
currently serves on NAFCU's Legislative Committee. Mr. Easterling's 
deep knowledge of legislative and regulatory issues facing credit 
unions will give him tremendous expertise on the NAFCU Board, 
especially as the country continues to recover from the financial 
crisis.
  I wish Mr. Easterling the best of luck in his new role on the NAFCU 
Board and I look forward to working with him in this capacity. I ask 
that my colleagues join me today in congratulating him on this special 
achievement.
