Do you know what makes a credit union different from a bank?
We are not-for-profit and we are owned by our members (not stockholders).
There is one more very important difference. The operations of a credit union are overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors that is comprised of credit union members. Without the influence of salary, the Board of Directors is free to provide impartial leadership that is in the best interest of their fellow members.
Any member over the age of 16 and in good standing with the credit union (as a primary account holder) is eligible to participate on our Board of Directors.
Nominations for the Board can be made for someone else, or you can nominate yourself.
Send all nominations to Betty Nolen, Nominating Committee Chair at bnolen@highlands.edu or 706.802.5037.
Nominations are open until September 30, 2009.
