FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, DC America's Credit Unions today announced Kathleen CoulombeasChief Advocacy Officer, bringing nearly two decades of experience leading federal policy and advocacy strategies for national organizations.

Coulombewill joinAmerica's Credit Unionsbeginning April 20,following an extensive national searchled by search firm Korn Ferrythat attracted a highly competitive pool of candidates from across Washington's policy and financial services communities.

"Throughout this search we had the opportunity to meet an impressive group of candidates, which speaks to the strength and future of the credit union movement," saidScott Simpson, President and CEO of America's Credit Unions. "Kathleen stood out for her strategic leadership, deep understanding of Washington's policy landscape, and proven ability to lead successful advocacy efforts on behalf of large and diverse memberships."

Coulombe most recently served as Senior Vice President of Federal Relations at the American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI), where she led federal advocacy strategy on Capitol Hill and with federal agencies for the life insurance industry.

During her time at ACLI, she helped guide the industry's policy agenda, worked closely with senior policymakers and regulators, and led advocacy campaigns addressing complex financial services issues.

Prior to joining ACLI, Coulombe spent more than a decade at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), where she played a key role in developing and executing national advocacy strategies on workplace and labor policy.

Earlier in her career, Coulombe held positions at the U.S. Department of Defense and the Office of Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn.

"Credit unions play a vital role in helping millions of Americans access affordable financial services and achieve financial security," said Coulombe. "I'm honored to join America's Credit Unions and look forward to working with policymakers, regulators, and credit union leaders to advance policies that support the credit union mission and the communities they serve."

As Chief Advocacy Officer, Coulombe will lead America's Credit Unions' federal advocacy strategy,working in close coordination with stateLeagues across the country,and oversee the organization's efforts to advance policy priorities on behalf of credit unions nationwide.
