Board of Directors... A credit union is a unique financial
institution. Each year there is an election among credit union
members for the board of directors. Each member has one vote-
one share in the credit union. No one member can "purchase" extra
shares in the credit union in order to control who is elected.
Democratically elected and volunteers Each board member is
a volunteer- they are not paid a salary to oversee the operation
of this credit union. In addition, board appointed committees
are made up of volunteers, and in some cases, staff also volunteers. |
