The Senate Banking Committee has announced that it will hold a nomination hearing on Thursday, Oct. 19 that will include NCUA Board nominee Tanya Otsuka.

Otsuka was nominated by President Joe Biden last month to replace Board Member Rodney Hood whose term expired in August and is serving in a holdover capacity.

Otsuka is currently Senior Counsel for the majority staff of the U.S. Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee under Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-OH), where she has handled the Committee’s work on banking and credit union issues since March 2020. 

If she is confirmed by the full Senate, Otsuka would have an NCUA Board term lasting through Aug. 2, 2029.
