The National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors (NASCUS) recognizes and celebrates the remarkable career of Janet Powell, Chief of Regulation and Supervision—Credit Unions for Oregon’s Division of Financial Regulation, as she retires at the end of June 2026 following more than three decades of service to the credit union system.
Over the course of her career, Powell helped shape one of the nation’s strongest state credit union systems. Since joining Oregon’s regulatory program in 1992 and later leading the state’s credit union division, she has worked collaboratively with credit unions, lawmakers, trade associations, and fellow regulators to modernize Oregon’s credit union charter while maintaining a strong commitment to safety and soundness., Oregon state-chartered credit unions successfully navigated both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, and the state experienced no credit union failures.
