Board Application Process
Become a Volunteer Member of the Board of Directors
One of the key differences between banks and credit unions is the democratic structure and control of credit unions. Our Board of Directors is not a group of paid shareholders, but a group of volunteers who are elected by the membership to oversee the governance of the financial cooperative. When you become a board member, you are making a commitment to serve the organization and its membership in a way that maximizes the shared interest of all members and stakeholders.
Individuals wishing to nominate themselves must be a member of Community Choice Credit Union in good standing. The nomination process begins with completing the application. Applications will be reviewed by our nominating committee, composed of current board members. The election will take place at our annual meeting. Two Directors' terms are expiring. The incumbents who will stand for re-election are Tom Cook and Cheryl Marks.
Members who would like to run for a board position may do so by filing a Board Volunteer Application no later than February 28, 2022 or a petition by April 12, 2022. The petition process requires 3% of membership, equal to 3,458 valid member signatures. Community Choice Credit Union bylaws and blank petitions are available upon request.
If you have questions regarding the application process or duties of a board member, please contact Carol Wells, Executive Assistant, at 877.243.2528, ext. 1108 or email the nominating committee, c/o, CWells@CommunityChoiceCU.com .
