Board of Directors
Setting the Course for the Credit Union
Seven members elected by the membership to the Board of Directors are tasked with ensuring the Executive Management Team upholds the Credit Union’s member-focused mission statement. This rarely requires direct involvement in the day-to-day operations, since that job falls to the Credit Union President and staff. Generally speaking, the Board’s job is to set course for the credit union, making sure it is operated in a sound and prudent manner and that all decisions are guided by the best interests of the members.

Each member of the WCCU Board of Directors is elected by the membership to serve a three-year term; or a remaining term of a previous director. The Board is responsible for the general oversight and final decision-making authority over the affairs, funds, and records of WCCU in accordance with applicable law and the Bylaws. The board acts on behalf of the credit union and its members, not themselves.
In order to be considered for the WCCU Board of Directors, you must submit an application for nomination. The current application period is closed. Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.
