Volunteer Guide

Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations whose main mission is service to their members and their communities. They operate on a one member, one vote basis. Members own the credit union by maintaining a share, which allows that voting right.

Members who serve as volunteers on the board of directors, or other committees, are unique in the financial world because they assume tremendous responsibilities in guiding credit union operations without monetary compensation. The amount and type of work varies according to a credit union’s size and resources.
