The NCUA promoted Cherie Freed to Region V Director for the agency's Tempe, Ariz., office.

Freed will replace current, retiring Regional Director Elizabeth Whitehead in May. Region V covers Alaska, Arizona, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

“Credit unions and their members will be well-served by Cherie Freed, a long-time veteran of [the] NCUA who brings 29 years of experience to her new position,” NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said. “She has consistently carried out her duties with excellence, and she has a wealth of experience at many levels of the agency. I also want to thank Liz Whitehead for 28 years of dedicated service to [the] NCUA and the credit union system. She's been an enthusiastic and capable leader in our Region V office, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”

After joining the NCUA in 1987, Freed served as a credit union examiner and as the associate regional director for operations in Region V. Her career at the NCUA has included serving as the agency's acting deputy executive director, Region V director of supervision, a loss risk analysis officer, a corporate credit union examiner and a problem case officer.
