Credit union leaders named to public service roles

Credit union leaders are bringing a vital perspective to organizations where financial services decisions impacting credit unions are made through new board roles on the state and regional level.

Interra Credit Union President/CEO Amy Sink, who also serves on America’s Credit Unions board, was appointed to the Indiana Board for Depositories by Gov. Mike Braun. In this role, she will help oversee the Public Deposit Insurance Fund, an important role for credit unions as well as banks that hold public funds.

Elevations Credit Union Chief Financial Officer Michael Calcote was elected to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) of Topeka’s Board of Directors, marking the first time a credit union representative has served on the board. FHLBank Topeka serves financial institutions in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

These public service roles highlight the growing recognition of credit unions as integral parts of the financial services market, and the need for cooperative finance representation at all policy levels.
