  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Daniel

National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU).
   Mr. Weickenand is the President and CEO of Orion Federal Credit

industry. Prior to his service at Orion Federal Credit Union, where he 
oversaw a complete brand overhaul from Memphis Area Teacher's Credit 
Union, Mr. Weickenand served as the Chief Financial Officer at FedEx 
Employees Credit Association.
   In addition to his expertise in financial services, Mr. Weickenand 
is actively involved in the Memphis community in various charitable 
capacities and is currently serving as treasurer for the Memphis in May 
International Festival Board of Directors.
   Undoubtedly, Mr. Weickenand will bring a tremendous amount of 
expertise to the NAFCU Board. I wish Mr. Weickenand the best of luck in 
his new role on the NAFCU Board. I ask that my colleagues join me today 
in congratulating him on this achievement.
