Our Mission: To improve people’s lives and support ongoing education through fair financial products and services.
Our Vision: Financial wellbeing for all.
At County Schools Federal Credit Union, our strength comes from our members. As a member-owned financial cooperative, every decision we make is rooted in serving the best interests of the people and communities we support. Volunteering in a leadership role is a meaningful opportunity to help shape the future of your credit union while giving back to an organization built on the philosophy of “people helping people.”
We are currently seeking engaged, community-minded members to serve in volunteer leadership roles on our Board of Directors, as Associate Board Members, and on our Supervisory Committee.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors plays a critical role in guiding the credit union’s mission, setting strategic direction, and ensuring the organization remains financially strong, member-focused, and well-positioned for the future. Board members are elected by and represent the membership, helping oversee the long-term success and sustainability of the credit union.
Associate Board Members
Associate Board Members provide valuable support to the Board while gaining hands-on governance and leadership experience. They participate in discussions, contribute ideas and perspectives, and assist with initiatives that benefit both our members and the broader community. Associate Board Members are non-voting participants who serve alongside the Board of Directors and are often interested in future board service opportunities.
Supervisory Committee
The Supervisory Committee serves as an independent oversight body that helps ensure the credit union operates with integrity, transparency, and in compliance with applicable regulations. This committee is responsible for overseeing internal and external audits, reviewing financial controls, and helping safeguard member assets. Supervisory Committee members work closely with auditors and management but remain independent from daily operations to provide objective oversight. This role is ideal for individuals who are detail-oriented and interested in financial oversight, risk management, or compliance. While financial or audit experience is helpful, it is not required.
Why Serve?
Serving in a volunteer leadership role is an opportunity to make a lasting impact — not only on the organization, but on the financial well-being of fellow members, local families, and the communities we serve.
As a volunteer leader, you will:
Help shape the future direction of the credit union
Support financial access and opportunities for members
Promote the cooperative values that make credit unions unique
Gain valuable leadership, governance, and strategic planning experience
Collaborate with passionate professionals and community leaders
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
We are looking for individuals who are:
Passionate about serving others and giving back to the community
Interested in leadership, governance, or professional development
Thoughtful, collaborative, and willing to share ideas and perspectives
Able to commit time to preparation, meetings, and occasional events
Supportive of the credit union mission and cooperative principles
Actively engaged members of the credit union
Because County Schools Federal Credit Union was founded to serve the educational community, school employees, administrators, and other education professionals often bring valuable perspective and insight, making them especially strong candidates. However, membership is diverse, and individuals from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Previous board, audit, or financial experience is helpful, but not required. We value diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that reflect the membership and communities we serve.
Time Commitment
These are unpaid volunteer positions that require an ongoing commitment of time, preparation, and engagement. Typical responsibilities may include:
Attendance at regular monthly meetings. Board meetings are typically held on the last Thursday evening of each month; Supervisory Committee meetings are generally held monthly.
Participation in annual strategic planning sessions and/or audit-related reviews
Reviewing materials in advance and staying informed on credit union matters
Supporting community and member engagement activities throughout the year
Collaborating with fellow volunteers, management, auditors, and leadership
On average:
Board and Associate Board Members can expect to dedicate several hours per month, with occasional additional time for planning sessions, educational opportunities, or special events.
Supervisory Committee Members typically commit a few hours per month, with additional time during audit periods or when reviewing reports and findings.
All positions are unpaid and volunteer-based, reflecting the cooperative nature of credit unions and our shared commitment to serving one another. Candidates must be members in good standing with County Schools Federal Credit Union and be 18 years of age or older.
