Rodney E. Hood and Todd M. Harper were confirmed by the Senate late Thursday on a unanimous consent vote to two seats on the NCUA Board.
Once they are sworn into office, the pair will bring the board up to its full three-member complement for the first time since 2016.
Harper – a Democrat — takes the seat formerly held by former Chairman Debbie Matz, who left the board in 2016. Hood’s term runs until August 2023; Harper’s term runs until April 2021. Current NCUA Board Chair McWatters, a Republican, is serving a term that ends in August of this year.
The pair were approved for confirmation consideration by the Senate Banking Committee late last month.
