The National Credit Union Foundation has chosen longtime credit union leader Wendell Sebastian as its next executive director. In some ways this was not a surprise. Sources close to the executive search had named Sebastian as a front-runner for the job in January.

Sebastian is well-known within the credit union community, having spent 20 years as CEO of Tampa, Fla.-based GTE Federal Credit Union. He also was executive director and general counsel at the NCUA from 1981-1985 during Edgar F. Callahan's tenure as chairman.

After his service at the NCUA, Sebastian co-founded Callahan & Associates, a credit union consulting firm. He is also a former general counsel of the Illinois Department of Financial Institutions.
