                        Wednesday, July 17, 2013

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Jan Roche on her 
recent election to the Board of Directors at the National Association 
of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU).
  Ms. Roche is the President and CEO of State Department Federal Credit 
Union headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. She has served in this 
role for over 10 years and has used her extensive accounting and credit 
union management experience to ensure that the State Department Federal 
Credit Union remains wholly committed to serving its 68,000 members at 
home and abroad. Ms. Roche is a Certified Public Accountant and 
graduated cum laude from the University of Richmond.
  In addition to her service on NAFCU's Board of Directors, Ms. Roche 
also serves on the Administrative Board of the Filene Research 
Institute and is the vice chair of the Richmond Fed's Community 
Development Institutions Advisory Board. Ms. Roche is active in the 
betterment of our local community through her work supporting Credit 
Union Miracle Day, which helps plan the Cherry Blossom 10-miler each 
year benefitting the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
  Undoubtedly, Ms. Roche will bring a tremendous amount of expertise to 
the NAFCU Board in navigating laws and regulations impacting the credit 
union community.
  I wish Ms. Roche the best of luck in her new role on the NAFCU Board 
and look forward to working with her in this capacity. I ask that my 
colleagues join me today in congratulating her on this achievement.
