Meet the Board >

 

There are three 3-year terms to be filled.

There are a number of skills and backgrounds that contribute to a well-rounded board. Each Director is not expected to have all of these; the strength of a Board pools the diverse collective knowledge and experience to benefit the credit union.

This year, the Board is particularly seeking those with digital & technology or risk management experience. 

Check out the Eligibility section for details.

Candidates are required to participate in an interview with two members of the Nominating Committee. The interview will help assess each candidate's merit against objective criteria with the intent to diversify the Board's composition. Those that the Committee determines best meet these criteria will be recommended as ‘recommended’ to our membership in the election voting materials.

Download the Board of Director Candidate Information Package in Resource Links below - this will provide detailed information of what is required. You can also watch the Information Session recording under the Key Dates tab.

Directors receive payment for meetings (currently $350/meeting), mileage reimbursement, conference and training per diems and reimbursement for reasonable expenses.
 

If you still have questions, reach out to one of the Nominating Committee members.
