Michigan Financial Institutions Bureau (FIB) deputy commissioner Roger Little has been elected to the board of directors of the National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors (NASCUS).

NASCUS is a national organization representing the nation's state credit union regulatory agencies and the state-chartered credit union system.

It is a significant honor to serve on the board of directors, which provides leadership to an organization representing regulators and credit union executives from 48 states.

Commenting on his election, Mr. Little said, "I look forward to working with my state and federal counterparts to ensure that safe and sound credit unions are available to meet the financial needs of their members."

Acting FIB Commissioner Gary Mielock stated, "Roger continues a Michigan tradition of leadership in NASCUS. He is the 4th Michiganian to serve on the board since 1974. Given the many important issues facing our nation's credit union system, Roger's election to the board could not be more timely. Michigan will continue to help lead NASCUS and the credit union industry into the future.

The Financial Institutions Bureau is the primary regulator of Michigan's state-chartered banks, savings banks, credit unions, and over 5000 other licensed lenders. The bureau is 100% fee-funded, requiring no public tax dollars for its supervisory, regulatory, licensing, and enforcement activities. The bureau is an agency within the Michigan Department of Consumer & Industry Services.
