Board Member 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. There are three seats up for re-election with incumbents running.

Members who would like to run for a board position may do so by filing a Board Volunteer Application no later than February 13, 2025, or a petition by April 2, 2025. The petition process requires 3% of the memberships’ valid 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.
