Board of Directors

Meet the people who provide direction to your credit union.

Veridian's all-volunteer, unpaid Board of Directors is made up of 15 members who oversee strategic planning and general policy setting in the interest of their fellow members. Five directors are seated for three-year terms at Veridian's Annual Meeting.

“The democratic election of our board is fundamental to the credit union difference,” said Veridian President and CEO Monte Berg. “It helps ensure decisions at the highest level are made in our members’ interest. Directors serve as unpaid volunteers, and we’re grateful for their selfless leadership.”
