Call for Volunteers |
Apply to Run for our
Board of Directors |
One of the most important differences between credit unions and other financial institutions is our volunteer board of directors that is elected by our members. All directors are members who volunteer their time and expertise to serve. Members vote to elect the credit union board.
Board members attend monthly meetings, special committee meetings and strategic planning sessions throughout the year. They are also expected to keep up with current issues in our industry by attending seminars and continuing their credit union education.
|
| To be considered for nomination, candidates must: |
- Be an active member in good standing and at least 21 years of age.
- Be a primary member (not a joint account-holder) of First Credit Union for at least one year.
- Have an excellent credit standing and no criminal convictions.
- Have knowledge, experience and interest in financial operations.
- Have the ability to act confidentially, independently and objectively regardless of personal situations or relationships with other members, directors or staff.
- Not be related, by blood or marriage, to any current or former credit union employees, directors or committee members.
