We invite you to consider running in our 2024 Directors Election.

It all begins with submitting a nomination form during our Call for Nominations period, which runs from October 3rd to November 1st, 2023.

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:

• Lending Expertise (Retail & Commercial)—Relevant experience including: 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.
• Capital Markets / Treasury—Relevant experience including: understanding liquidity management, interest rate risk management, foreign currency risk, asset liability management and derivative and capital markets as it pertains to a financial institution, and supported by relevant courses and/or designations.
• Wealth Management—Relevant past experience and current knowledge including: understanding the competitive landscape within the wealth management industry and its regulatory environment as required to meet legal, regulatory and governance obligations, and supported by relevant courses and/or designations (such as a CFP). Those with a conflict of interest, such as current practicing advisors or those otherwise employed in the wealth management industry will not be considered.
