    Acclamation of Directors

     

    It is the Nominating Committee’s responsibility to identify candidates who can fill available board positions each year. When choosing new directors, the committee considers many factors, including skills, knowledge, and other relevant contributions the board feels that, as nominees, they can bring to Your Credit Union. Any of you, the Your Credit Union members, are eligible to run for positions on the Board. Each year, Your Credit Union conducts a call for directors; please look out for this across our channels.

    This year, two positions became vacant, and two nominations were received.  Therefore, Ken Hughes (continues) and Edward Miner are acclaimed to the board.
