Run for an Associate Director Seat

As a not-for-profit cooperative, our members democratically elect Directors to serve on our Board and set our credit union’s strategic direction. The Associate Director program is designed to provide education and development for those interested in eventually joining Veridian’s Board as a Director.

Associate Directors will be elected to staggered terms and work with Directors to collaborate in strategic planning, determine policy, attend regular meetings, act as an ambassador of the credit union, and meet ongoing professional development and educational requirements. The duties of an Associate Director are the same as that of a Director, with the exception of voting in Board meetings.

Eligible candidates must be a Veridian member, primary account holder in good standing and age 18 or older, among other eligibility requirements. Eligible candidates will be announced to our membership prior to the voting period. Veridian members will vote online from March 18 through April 17 to elect one Associate Director. Election results will be announced at Veridian’s Annual Meeting on Tuesday, April 22 at 5:00 p.m.  Nominations will not be accepted at the virtual Annual Meeting.

The candidate who receives the most votes will be elected to a three-year term as an Associate Director.
