Election

Every year, Vancity holds its Board of Directors’ Election to fill available director positions.

Members are invited to participate in three ways:

• to serve as non-director members of the Nominations and Election Committee;
• to run as a candidate in the election; and
• to vote for candidates who will represent the membership as a Board Member.

Member involvement in the election is critical in maintaining Vancity’s success, the values on which the credit union is founded, and the innovative strategies that enable Vancity to serve its members, communities and beyond.
