KENSINGTON, Md. — If enough Lafayette members vote for them, there may be two opponents of credit union-to-bank charter conversions on the board of the $319 million Lafayette Federal Credit Union.

Louis Emory is a senior counsel at the Export-Import Bank of the U.S. and has been a credit union member since 2005, according to the CU's Web site. Robert Navin is a senior advisor at USAID and has been a credit union member since 1979.

The two are running against three incumbents. John Farmakides is managing director of Havenwood Capital Markets and has been a Lafayette member since 1994. Rodrigo Leiva is membership services director with the Latino Federation and became a Lafayette member in 2006 as did Darryl Pounds, president of Pounds Properties.
