National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) President and CEO Dan Berger recently announced the promotion of Carrie Hunt to EVP of Government Affairs and General Counsel.

“Carrie has helped NAFCU successfully tackle an extraordinary political climate in the financial services industry. She is an exemplary manager with an impressive work ethic and commitment to excellence,” said Berger.

Hunt began her career at NAFCU as Associate Director of Regulatory Affairs over 11 years ago. She was promoted to the division’s Director and VP before being named to her current position, SVP of Government Affairs and General Counsel.

According to the NAFCU, she manages the association’s legislative, political, regulatory, compliance, and research divisions. As SVP of Government Affairs, Hunt provides a voice to NAFCU’s members by supporting NAFCU’s influential presence on Capitol Hill.

“I have had the good fortune to work with an exceptional group of colleagues in the government affairs department, including working for Dan, who gives us the freedom to advance and execute a broad range of policy initiatives,” Hunt said. “I am excited to continue serving NAFCU’s members and advance the association’s legislative and regulatory agenda.”
