Elected Officials

Call for Candidates

Our annual election to the Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee is May 2010.

The deadline for submitting a candidate application is February 12, 2010. The Nomination/Election Committee will review applications and interview potential candidates prior to placing names into nomination. Members who are not nominated may still seek election by submitting a petition containing the verified signatures of 100 credit union members. The petitions must be submitted by March 19, 2010.

Three seats will be up for election on the Board of Directors, and two seats will be available on the Supervisory Committee. The Board of Directors attend monthly meetings and work in conjunction with credit union management to set goals and policies, while the Supervisory Committee meets every other month and oversees the credit union’s internal audit function to ensure that rules and regulations governing the credit union are followed.

The Supervisory Committee is also responsible for selecting the credit union’s external audit firm and overseeing the annual audit of the credit union’s books and records.

Prior to February 12, potential candidates must attend a scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Committee and an orientation session to review the responsibilities of a director or committee member. The scheduled meeting dates are listed below.

Members interested in running for an elected position must meet specific criteria for eligibility. For more information please call (559) 437-7714 or write to:
