Board Volunteers

Seeking Candidates for Board & Committee positions
Would you like to help make a difference in the general direction of MyCom Federal Credit Union? If so, then consider volunteering as a member of our Board of Directors or a Committee. The Board has the ultimate responsibility for the control and continued solvency of MyCom FCU, and the committee(s) oversees the board and reviews audits. An important consideration and qualification for a position is the willingness to volunteer time to serve MyCom and its members. We continue to be financially secure, due in part to the caring and knowledgeable Board and Committee members.

Since 1955, MyCom has been governed by a seven-member volunteer Board elected by credit union members. Each term is three years and every year, three board terms expire. Committee members are also appointed annually by the Board for one or two-year terms. The nominating committee seeks candidates among the members of the credit union who may be interested in serving on the Board or a Committee. Current board members are permitted to run for reelection and current committee members may seek reappointment.

Eligibility
To run for a board or committee position, you must:

• Have an account at MyCom.
• Be age 18 or over.
• Be bondable through MyComs bond (insurance) provider.
• Have not caused a financial loss to MyCom.
• Have not been convicted of a felony or any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of fiduciary duty/trust.

Ideal Candidates may include members who:

• Care deeply about the community
• Are interested in leadership, governance, or financial services.
• Bring diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.
• are willing to commit time to learning and participating.
• Want to strengthen the future of MyCom.

Prior board experience is not required.

Meeting requirements
Attendance is required at regular board meetings, normally held on the third Thursday evening of each month beginning at 12:00 pm at MyCom, and/or video live video-conference.

Typically, these are lunch meetings that are around 1-2 hours. Volunteers also represent MyCom designated events at various times.

Compensation
Federal law states that credit union board and committee members are not authorized to receive compensation for their services.
