NCUA Vice Chairman Rodney Hood may not be an Olympic athlete, but today he became a gold medalist.

At a farewell reception for Hood, NCUA Chairman Michael E. Fryzel awarded him the NCUA Gold Medal.

"Vice Chairman Rodney Hood's legacy will be a strong one: his foresight and diligence on risk mitigation came at a time when much of the financial world was devoting its energies elsewhere; his commitment to credit union professional development, embodied in his 'Blueprint 20/20′ initiative, was impressive," Fryzel said. The Vice Chairman's service was an essential part of NCUA's success in recent years, and his contributions will be missed.

Hood, who has been on the board since 2005 after being appointed by President Bush, will leave the board once the Senate confirms Deborah Matz to the board. His term expired in April.
