In addition to his public and private sector service, Hood served as a mem- ber of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Board of Visitors and as member of the UNC School of Arts Board of Trustees. He also served as a member of the Board of Trustees for the North Carolina Museum of Art and as a member of the Board of Governors for the University of North Carolina College System. Hood's professional awards include being named one of the "40 Young Leaders Under the Age of 40" by the Triangle Business Journal in Raleigh, North Carolina. He is the first recipient of the "Dream Award," an award given by the Wells Fargo Housing Founda- tion to honor individuals who have exhibited an outstanding commitment to affordable housing. "Rodney Hood's extensive expe- rience and knowledge in financial services and regulation, including as Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration during the first Trump administration, will serve him well as Acting Comptroller and as a board member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation," Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) President and CEO Bob Broeksmit, CMB said. "MBA congratulates Rodney Hood on this distinguished appointment, and we look forward to his insights on how to bring more innovation to the banking sector and ensuring it serves the needs of all Americans. We will also continue to advocate for changes that would increase banks' participation in the mortgage market, while maintaining a safe and sound bank capital framework. In particular, recalibrating risk-weights for mortgage servicing rights and warehouse lending would both increase bank activity in the space and lower costs for consumers." Hood succeeds Acting Comptroller Michael J. Hsu, who has served in the role since May 10, 2021. "I thank Mr. Hsu for his many years of dedicated public service and his com- mitment to strengthening the resilience of the U.S. banking system," Hood said.
