                         TRIBUTE TO DAN BERGER

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. PATRICK T. McHENRY

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 12, 2023

  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize B. Dan Berger as 
he prepares to step down from his role at the President/CEO of the 
National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU) at the 
end of the year.
  Dan first joined NAFCU in 2006 and helped the association become a 
strong advocate for credit unions in Washington. I have had the 
pleasure of working with Dan on several issues before the Financial 
Services Committee during that time.
  Dan became the President/CEO of NAFCU in 2013. In a decade under his 
leadership. NAFCU has grown its membership by nearly 50 percent, while 
increasing assets and revenue. His final act for NAFCU will be leading 
it into a merger with the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) to 
create a new voice for credit unions--America's Credit Unions.
  Dan earned a master's degree in public administration from Harvard 
University and a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from The 
Florida State University. He is a member of The Economic Club of 
Washington, DC, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Committee of 100, and was 
an adjunct professor at The George Washington University in the 
communications department. He also serves as Vice Chair of the 
conservation group Bonefish and Tarpon Trust and formerly served as 
Chair of The Florida State University Alumni Association.
  I know the credit union community will miss Dan as he heads back to 
Florida to spend more time with his wife Aimee and daughter Shelby. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dan Berger and wishing 
him the best of luck with whatever comes next.
