                      Tuesday, September 14, 2021

  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Frank Mancini, of Berlin, Connecticut, on his recent 
selection to the Board of Directors of the National Association of 
Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU).
  Frank currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of 
Connex Credit Union in North Haven, Connecticut. He has over 30 years 
of experience in the financial services industry, including having 
served as CEO of Connex since 2012, after having served as its Chief 
Financial Officer since 2003. Under his leadership, Connex has grown in 
total assets from $378M to $810M over the past eight years. Connex 
currently ranks as the 5th largest credit union in Connecticut in terms 
of asset size and 3rd in Connecticut in terms of loan balance.
  Frank has served on a number of Boards, including New Haven's 
Financial Empowerment Commission, Credit Union Executive Society of New 
England (Board Chair), Connex Insurance Services, Constitution State 
Corporate Credit Union, the Tax Exempt Proceeds Fund, and the 
Association for Senior Credit Union Officers. In 2016, he was awarded 
the Mayor's Community Champion Award for his advocacy efforts in 
assisting low-income households get increased access to banking 
services. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration 
from The University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut, and a Master 
of Business Administration from The University of Connecticut in West 
Hartford, Connecticut.
  Frank has a wealth of financial services and leadership knowledge. 
His vision and decision-making skills will be a valuable addition to 
the NAFCU Board and credit unions for years to come.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Frank Mancini and 
wishing him the best of luck in his new role on the NAFCU Board of 
Directors. I look forward to working with him in this regard.
