Board of Directors
| Quick Links |
Although the credit union is owned and democratically controlled by its members, it is inconceivable for the members to gather to make daily decisions. For this reason, the members elect a board of directors.
As a member of a credit union, you have voting privileges which allows you to vote for individuals who would best represent your needs.
Spectra Credit Union has 9 Board of Directors,from 5 different electorial districts, who were democratically elected to represent the needs of every member.
