Call for Associate Director Candidates

As a not-for-profit cooperative, our members democratically elect associate 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 potentially becoming a director, after satisfying the pre-requisites.

Associate directors will 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. Nominated candidates will be announced to our membership prior to the voting period. Veridian members will vote online from March 25 through April 23 to elect one associate director. Election results will be announced at Veridian’s Annual Meeting on Tuesday, April 28 at 5:00 p.m.  Nominations will not be accepted at the Annual Meeting.

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

To apply to be considered for nomination for the open associate director seat, complete the application at the link below. Applications are due by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Questions can be emailed to administration@VeridianCU.org.
