President-elect Donald Trump on Monday appointed Peter Barrettof Barrett Capitol Strategies and Chelsea Pizzola, formerly of theCommittee on Capital Markets Regulation, to his NCUA landing team.

They will join former NCUA Chairman Michael Fryzel on theteam.

Barrett, who currently serves as president of his own financialservices company, served as Chief of Staff at the NCUA in fromJanuary 2007 to September 2008. His tenure at NCUA coincided withpart of Fryzel's term on the agency board.

He also served as director of federal affairs with the NationalAssociation of State Treasurers, director of outreach at theDepartment of Treasury and on the staffs of the Senate BankingCommittee and the House Financial Services Committee.

Most recently, Pizzola served as a research fellow at theCommittee on Capital Markets Regulation, a private researchorganization that states it is dedicated to developing efficientcapital markets and ensuring the stability of the financialsystem.

She also worked as a law clerk for J. Christopher Giancarlo, amember of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Trump has two personnel decisions to make at the NCUA. He maydesignate a new chairman. Current Chairman Rick Metsger is aDemocrat and presumably Trump would want a Republican in thatposition.

The other member of the board, J. Mark McWatters, is aRepublican and Trump could select him as chair.

The NCUA board also has a vacancy and Trump may nominate aRepublican to fill that seat.
