Board of Directors and Elections
BOARD ELECTIONS
Newfoundland and Labrador Credit Union (NLCU) is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who are elected by our members. Each year, a call for Board of Directors nominations is made to our membership and remains open for a minimum of 21 days. The deadline to submit nominations is February 15. Board elections occur at the Annual General Meeting, which is held in the spring.
