Washington — NAFCU said Tuesday that it has added three attorneys to its team of regulatory compliance counsels to better enhance service and bolster assistance to members "as regulations continue to roll out."
The trade group said in a statement that each new hire — Brandy Bruyere, Alicia Nealon and Ricardo Pineres — will be responsible for handling regulatory compliance inquiries from member credit unions, authoring newsletter publications and blog posts on issues affecting federal credit unions, and presenting on regulatory topics at NAFCU events and conferences.
"Bruyere, Nealon and Pineres are great additions to our already outstanding team, which is dedicated to providing our members with extreme member service," said JiJi Bahhur, NAFCU's director of regulatory compliance, in the statement. "I am confident that our team is well-equipped to keep the association's members apprised of critical regulatory compliance issues that keep coming their way and to address their questions in a highly responsive, timely manner."
Before joining NAFCU, Bruyere was a financial law and policy analyst for the University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security, where she worked on issues relating to derivatives regulations.
Nealon previously worked at NCUA's Office of General Counsel.
Pineres was formerly employed at the Maryland & D.C. Credit Union Association as vice president of advocacy-legislative affairs.
