2008 Ron Paul 51:1
Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today to recognize Randy
M. Smith, the CEO/President of Randolph-
Brooks Federal Credit Union, on his recent
election to the Board of Directors of the National
Association of Federal Credit Unions
(NAFCU).
2008 Ron Paul 51:2
For the past 21 years, Mr. Smith has dedicated his life to improving financial institutions
in America, serving on the Credit Union Oversight
Task Force of the Campaign for Consumer
Choice, NAFCUs Legislative, Regulatory
and Accounting Standards Committees
and various committees of state and national
credit union organizations. Currently, he is a
member of the Air Education and Training
Commands Community Council and the
Board of Trustees of the local United Way. I
am also very proud to say that he is a fellow
retired officer of the United States Air Force.
2008 Ron Paul 51:3
As the President/CEO, Mr. Smith has focused on strengthening the way Randolph-
Brooks delivers services aimed at improving
the economic well being and quality of life of
its members. Consistently ranked among the
top 25 of the nearly 8,300 financial cooperatives,
Randolph-Brooks is one of the strongest
credit unions in the country with more than
265,000 members and total assets exceeding
$3 billion. Randolph-Brooks FCU was originally
chartered in 1952 to serve personnel at
Randolph Air Force Base but has since expanded
to include employees and associates
at more than 1,300 select groups and eight
underserved communities in the San Antonio
and Austin areas. Randolph-Brooks FCU
prides itself on doing more than just conducting
business in the communities they
serve, instead becoming members of the community
and sharing in the credit union philosophy
of people helping people. With this in
mind, Randolph-Brooks provides assistance to
hundreds of local charitable organizations including
the Childrens Miracle Network, Society
of St. Vincent de Paul, USO, American
Red Cross, and the Fisher House Foundation.
2008 Ron Paul 51:4
It is because of the good work of Mr. Smith and others like him that credit unions across
the Nation have had such a tremendous impact
of the lives of millions of Americans.
Such service is the hallmark of the credit
union movement and I know that he will bring
this dedication to his service on the NAFCU
Board of Directors. I wish Mr. Smith the best
of luck in this new role and I look forward to
working with him in this new capacity.
