 CONGRATULATING THOMAS W. DEWITT ON HIS ELECTION TO THE NAFCU BOARD OF 
                               GOVERNORS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. AARON SCHOCK

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 16, 2014

  Mr. SCHOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Thomas W. 
Dewitt on his election to the Board of Directors at the National 
Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU). This is just the latest 
chapter in a long and productive career in financial services, and I 
know he will be a great asset to NAFCU.
   The core mission of credit unions is to serve their members, and 
Thomas Dewitt has embodied that spirit throughout his career. For 
nearly the past two decades, he has served 130,000 members in Central 
Illinois and around the country as the President and CEO of State Farm 
Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois.
   In addition to his role at State Farm, Mr. Dewitt has been an active 
participant in the activities of the NAFCU, most notably in the 
regulatory and legislative committees. In all, he brings 40 years of 
financial services experience to his new role at NAFCU, and he has 
consistently demonstrated his firm grasp and understanding of the 
issues important to credit unions and their members.
   Once again, congratulations to Mr. Dewitt on his election to the 
Board of Governors, and to NAFCU for gaining such a capable and 
seasoned addition. I look forward to working with Mr. Dewitt in his new 
role and wish him all the best.
