Knowledge and Expertise

Having a diverse board that represents the communities we serve and shares the vision we have for our credit union is extremely important. As a result, we encourage members with strong governance backgrounds and a commitment to our values to consider running for director regardless of their particular skill sets. Although all competencies are valuable, we would like to further strengthen our existing Board expertise in the following areas:

Relevant experience including the oversight or management of retail and commercial lending including an understanding of approval processes, with an emphasis on reporting, credit and geographic risks and regulatory issues surrounding lending activities as they pertain to a financial institution.
Relevant experience including the understanding of liquidity management, interest rate risk management, foreign currency risk, asset liability management and derivative and balance sheet management as it pertains to a financial institution, and supported by relevant courses and/or designations.
Relevant experience, background and knowledge including reading and interpreting corporate financial statements, understanding the relationship between financial performance and strategic plans and the ability to identify/describe organizational risks and controls, and supported by relevant courses and/or designations. A CPA designation would be an asset.
Relevant experience, background, and knowledge as an expert in risk management and the holistic view of enterprise risk management as demonstrated preferably in the financial services industry, or any relevant industry, and supported by relevant courses and/or risk management professional designations.
Relevant experience including oversight or management of insurance products and services, understanding of underwriting processes, risk assessment, claims management, and regulatory requirements specific to the insurance industry.
