Senate confirms Otsuka to NCUA Board

The Senate Wednesday confirmed Tanya Otsuka to the NCUA Board by voice vote. NAFCU Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Greg Mesack offered the association’s congratulations on her confirmation.

“Today’s Senate confirmation for Tanya Otsuka to join the NCUA Board is one of historic nature as she will be the first Asian American to serve in the agency’s 53 year history, and we congratulate her on her new position,” Mesack said. “NAFCU works closely with the NCUA to advocate on behalf of the credit union industry and the nearly 140 million Americans who rely on them for their financial well-being. We look forward to working with Ms. Otsuka to achieve a healthy regulatory environment and ensure credit unions can thrive in the communities they serve.”

Otsuka replaces NCUA Board Member Rodney Hood as his term expired in August.

Otsuka previously served as the senior counsel for staff of the Senate Banking Committee, led by Chairman Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio. Otsuka also worked with the FDIC as a staff attorney and counsel.
