AmeriCU Credit Union announced the promotion of Daniel Belfield to vice president general counsel. With extensive experience in both private practice and corporate settings he brings invaluable expertise to his new role.
The first attorney to serve as in-house counsel to AmeriCU, attorney Belfield has spent the past few years building a legal department from the ground-up. This has included establishing a legal operations group to handle the credit union’s day-to-day legal activities, as well as streamlining vendor management and document control, and otherwise advising the credit union on a wide array of legal, compliance, and risk management issues.
“Attorney Belfield’s promotion to vice president general counsel is a testament to his unwavering dedication, exceptional expertise, and leadership within our organization,” said Mark Livesey, chief risk officer of AmeriCU Credit Union.
In addition to his professional achievements, Belfield was recently appointed to the New York Credit Union Association government affairs committee, which advises the NYCUA on legislative issues at the state and federal level, as well as emerging compliance trends. He supports local causes, including the Kelberman Center, St. Francis House, vital community programs such as soup kitchens and food banks, and medical work abroad.
AmeriCU has 20 financial centers which serve more than 164,000 members in 24 New York counties and beyond.
