The Credit Union directors are elected by the general membership. A person must first be a member of the credit union to run for a board position. Elections take place at our yearly Annual Meeting.
During board meetings, you share in the responsibility for the credit union’s future. You contribute to setting policies, approving budgets and all other board functions that help guide the credit union. You are expected to make decisions that are good for the credit union and for the members as a whole, regardless of how those decisions affect your personal situation. Terms are 3 years.
