Fred R. Becker Jr.
Fred R. Becker Jr. became the president and CEO of NAFCU in January 2000. Since coming to NAFCU, Becker has been focused on enhancing the federal credit union charter, improving NAFCU’s direct contact with its membership and reaching out to the national press on behalf of credit unions.
Working with the National Credit Union Administration over the past three years, NAFCU has been successful in convincing the agency to make much-needed changes to the chartering and field of membership manual and grant community charters to credit unions that just a year ago would have most likely been denied.
On Capitol Hill, NAFCU’s federal charter enhancement initiative resulted in increased attention to federal credit union issues, as well as the inclusion of a number of important credit union provisions in the Regulatory Relief bill. Becker’s e-mails to NAFCU’s membership have substantially enhanced the association’s direct contact with its membership, and his letters to the editor, in publications such as USA Today, U.S. News and World Report, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, have highlighted the advantages of credit union membership.
Becker is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. He holds a JD from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA. He also holds an MBA from Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech).
