Leadership

The board of directors of a federal credit union is charged with the general direction and control of the institution. Credit unions, however, are not like many other commercial entities in that they do not produce observable physical goods or services. Instead, credit unions receive deposits from the membership and, in turn, lend or invest these funds.

The supervisory committee oversees the operation and the compliance issues for the credit union. The members meet once a quarter. A committee representative reviews loans and new accounts monthly. On an annual basis, a CPA firm conducts a supervisory audit.
