League Board & Management Team
Your League was organized Nov. 26, 1934 and became incorporated in 1952. Since its organization, it has rendered continuous service and today is recognized as one of the leading leagues in the nation.
Your League is directed by a 13-member board of directors, representing the entire state. The 13 directors are elected by member credit unions. They are responsible for setting League policy and directing League affairs.
Governance Structure:

Each of the state's four regions elect two directors for their region - one representing credit unions with less than $50 million in assets (Class 1) and one representing credit unions with $50 million or more in assets (Class 2).
In addition, all eligible credit unions have a vote in electing the five at-large directors, who can be elected from any region of the state. However, no more than two at-large directors from the same region can serve at the same time.
