Volunteer Board of Directors | CA Bay Area Local Leader

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors comprises dynamic local leaders who help set strategic direction and monitor financial performance for KeyPoint Credit Union. Board members are elected by Members and serve three-year terms, commencing in April each year, while enjoying several benefits:

Professional skill-building and network expansion
Giving back to the community
Continuing education through conferences paid for by KeyPoint
Exposure to the latest strategic thinking and planning retreats
Complimentary tools you need while you serving, such as a laptop or iPad

Requirements and Commitment

The ideal candidate has a professional background with experience at an upper-management or ownership level. Experience serving on a board is beneficial. Specific knowledge about the financial institutions is welcomed but not required. In addition to professional background, ideal candidates would have strong collaboration and decision-making skills.

The time commitment is at minimum 5-10 hours per month. Board meetings are held approximately 8 times per year in the evenings and there are special sub-committee meetings that are also held as needed. Applicants go through a formal interview process with the Board Nominating Committee and, if selected, must pass a background and bondability check. A more detailed Board of Director job description is available for candidates to review upon request.

The Board of Directors currently comprises nine directors, elected by the membership and Associate Directors that are appointed by the Board. The role of the Associate Board Member is to allow for development into a regular Board position when openings occur by participating in all the ways that a regular Board member participates, except without a vote. This is a perfect way to learn about the responsibilities of the volunteer position.
