FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCES PERSONNEL CHANGES
Source: Farm Credit Administration news release

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) Board has announced two personnel changes: Dale Aultman has been named Secretary to the Board, and Gary Van Meter has been named Acting Director of the Office of Regulatory Policy (ORP).

Secretary to the Board

Aultman replaces Roland Smith, who is retiring at the end of the year. "Dale has extensive experience at FCA, having served in several offices and performed a variety of roles over the years," said chairman Strom. "With his experience, qualifications, and professionalism, he has served the agency well, and I know that he will continue to do so as he undertakes this new role."

Aultman has worked for FCA for more than 22 years. He is an FCA commissioned examiner and member of the National Association of Parliamentarians.

A native of Wetumka, Okla., Aultman graduated with distinction from Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at the Southern Methodist University and holds a finance degree from the University of Oklahoma.

Acting Director of Office of Regulatory Policy

Van Meter was named Acting Director of ORP after Director Andrew Jacob accepted a career opportunity with CoBank, ACB, in Denver.

"Gary has extensive experience with administering the agency's policy and regulation development program," said Chairman Strom. "He is a highly capable and tenured professional, and I look forward to his carrying out the responsibilities of Acting Director."

Van Meter worked as the Deputy Director of ORP for the past five years and served in the Office of General Counsel for 17 years. During his tenure with ORP, he has supervised the policy and regulatory development process, as well as the processing of prior-approval actions.

A native of Cabins, W.Va., Van Meter holds a J.D. from West Virginia College of Law and a master of law in taxation from Georgetown University Law Center. He is also a certified public accountant. From 1972 to 1974, Van Meter was an enlisted member of the U.S. Marine Corps, and he was an officer in the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps from 1980 to 1986.
