Dan Mica
Dan is president and CEO of Credit Union National Association, the leading trade association representing the nation’s 8,000 credit unions and credit union leagues in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that today provide affordable financial services to nearly 93 million Americans.

Dan assumed his duties at CUNA in July 1996, a time of major internal and external challenge for the association. He returned the association to sound financial footing, raised its profile on Captol Hill and put in place an array of new political advocacy and grassroots mobilization programs. CUNA now consistently ranks among Washington's "powerhouse" lobbying organizations, and for seven years running he has been named by The Hill newspaper as one of the most influential former members of Congress who have since become lobbyists.

A five-term member of Congress, Dan represented his home state in Florida from 1979 to 1989 in the U.S. House of Representatives. After leaving Capitol Hill, he joined the American Council of Life Insurance in Washington, D.C., as executive vice president overseeing the federal affairs division. He was with ACLI, the life insurance industry’s leading trade group, from 1989 to 1996.

Debbie Matz
Debbie was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as the eighth board chair of the National Credit Union Administration. As Chair of the NCUA Board, she is the spokesperson for the agency and oversees the regulation of federal credit unions and the administration of the federal insurance fund covering approximately 8,000 credit unions with over $800 billion in assets. Debbie has extensive experience on Capitol Hill. Prior to becoming NCUA board chair, she served on President Obama’s Economic Transition Team. From 2006 until June 2008, Debbie was the Executive Vice-President/Chief Operating Officer of a federal credit union serving 90,000 members with branches in the United States and Europe.

Mary Dunn
