David H. Gilbert
(Aberdeen, July 9, 2009) —David H. Gilbert, Chairman of the Board of Harford County-based APGFCU, has been named Volunteer of the Year by the National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU). Gilbert will be officially honored at NAFCU’s Annual Conference in National Harbor, MD later this month.
“Dave Gilbert manifests the very essence of volunteerism in the credit union movement” said Don Lewis, President/CEO of APGFCU. “With over 40 years of credit union leadership experience, Dave Gilbert demonstrates an ardent dedication to serving the financial needs of our members. His energy, enthusiasm, and sheer passion for the mission of credit unions inspire and influence credit unionists locally and nationally. Dave consistently brings to the table a clear demonstration of the power of the cooperative spirit.”
Gilbert has been Chairman at APGFCU for 14 years. He has served on countless specialized committees since 1969 and is recognized as an outstanding national leader of credit unions and their volunteer directors. His leadership has been recognized with ten years of service as a Director of NAFCU including an 18 month spell on the Executive Committee. When Gilbert’s national representation with NAFCU ended in 2007, he immediately took his experience and advocacy to the local level and was elected a Director of the Maryland and DC Credit Union Association.
