Each year Members gather at the Annual Meeting to elect our Board of Directors from the Membership and to conduct other such business as may be brought to the meeting’s attention. Board members are uncompensated volunteers. The Board of Directors elect their own officers from the group that the Membership elects to serve as directors. Our officers consist of Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. The Board is ultimately responsible for the success of the Credit Union and sets Credit Union policy. The Board appoints the Supervisory Committee and hires the President.
The Board is directly responsible to the Membership. The Supervisory Committee is the Credit Union’s and the Membership’s watchdog.

The President reports directly to the Board. The President is responsible for the execution of the Board’s directions in the daily operations of the Credit Union and in meeting Members’ expectations.
