My Name is Aronjit Lageri, and i want to serve on the Board of Directors for the Vancity. It is my belief that vancity has served diligently and resourcefully to the community for a number of years. This partnership with the community, can be further strenghthened with contribution from the Board, which is diverse and knowledgable to the community needs.

My name is Dorin Radu and I’m excited to announce my candidacy for a position on the Vancity Board of Directors. I’m looking forward to working harmoniously with other board members and the management team in an effort to continuously make Vancity a great credit union place to serve the members and communities.

For those of you who don’t know me, I have lived in Greater Vancouver for 29 years and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here were I worked, studied and graduated from CDI College of Business & Technology with Diploma in Computer Programming and Professional Business Skills Level I & II by Canadian designation.

Vancity board members must know how to plan and understand the budget, manage the organization finances, deal with members financial needs, discuss and carry out ideas, and listen to the membership. I believe my backgound in leadership management, financial expertise and 9 years working Director for Radu Security Services make me the best candidate for the job. I know what this job entails and believe I have the necessary experience to do it well. I am also very enthusiastic and give my all to every job that I am given. If you like me and believe in my goals to help the Vancity members, please vote for me in the next Vancity Board election.

As someone with a young family navigating the high costs of daily life, I understand the value of banking services in today’s climate. We need an approach to finance that puts people first, rectifies historic wrongs, responds to the climate emergency, and promotes wellness and belonging.

I bring 17 years’ experience in leadership, governance, and finance, previously serving as Director at UBC, Chief of Strategy at InBC Investment, and currently as Senior Advisor at C40 Cities.  

With the Global Competent Boards designation, I can navigate complex governance issues, and I advise organizations championing solutions for a brighter future, including Vancouver Maritime Centre for Climate, and Realize Capital’s impact fund.

As a Vancity Director, I will positively contribute to decision-making on behalf of members, ensuring Vancity embodies cherished values while safeguarding our shared financial interests.

It would be an honour to receive your trust, and your vote, to continue this journey.
