It's time to vote for your next Board of Directors

One of the most important differences between Credit Unions and other institutions is the Board of Directors, elected by and from the membership. All Directors are members that volunteer their time and expertise to serve.  

There are two open seats on the Board of Directors, with four candidates identified. You will be casting your vote for 2 of the 4 candidates running.

Voting will begin April 8th at 9am and conclude on April 19th at the Annual Meeting where the election results will be announced.

All voting must be done in person between Monday Morning April 8, 2024 and Friday April 19, 2024 at noon at our main location only.  Voting will continue at Cascio's Steakhouse Friday April 19th from 5:30pm - 6:30pm.  Our new board members will be announced during the annual meeting.
