How to Become a Board of Directors Candidate
If you would like to run for the board, you may become a candidate for a board position by petition. You may request a board application and a petition form on which to collect signatures. You may place your petition form inside the branch, accompanied by printed information about yourself. The printed information should fit readably on an 8.5” x 11” sheet, and must include:
- Your name
- The length of your membership
- Your occupation
- Any qualifications for the Board position
- Why you wish to serve
- A phone number or address where you can be contacted
It will be your responsibility to make arrangements to submit your completed board application and petition to the credit union by 5:00 p.m. on February 3, 2025. Credit union management will verify the information you provide, and signatures collected. Providing false information to accompany the petition will disqualify you as a candidate, regardless of the number of signatures collected.
You must collect a verified number of signatures equal to one (1) percent of the membership (as counted on November 30 of the year prior to the election, which is 88-member signatures).
After the signatures are verified, your name will be posted on the Heritage Grove website by February 12, 2025.
