                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANDRE CARSON

                      Wednesday, October 25, 2023

  Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Whitney 
Anderson on her recent election to the Board of Directors of the 
National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU). Credit 
unions play a vital role in our nation's banking ecosystem allowing 
more people to access capital, obtain mortgages, and receive other 
financial tools that are otherwise difficult to obtain. Additionally, 
I've seen firsthand in my district, how credit unions provided vital 
services during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that the smallest of 
businesses received the necessary aid to assist during such trying 
times.
  Whitney currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Elements 
Financial, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. She previously 
served as Chief Community Development Officer at Michigan State 
University Federal Credit Union, served as President of the Desk Drawer 
Fund, and President of Ever Green 3C. Additionally, Whitney has had 
significant community involvement on boards such as the African 
American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) National Board, MLK Commission 
of Mid-Michigan, and United Way. Her

years of leading a broad range of teams, projects, and responsibilities 
provide a solid foundation and will add a unique perspective in her new 
role.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Whitney Anderson and 
wishing her the best of luck in her new role on the NAFCU Board of 
Directors. I look forward to working with her and NAFCU members to 
better serve our constituents across Indiana's 7th Congressional 
District.
