Who are we looking for?
In 2025, four director positions are open for election, each for a three-year term.
Being a director demands a significant investment in time, energy and expertise. It’s also a tremendous opportunity to contribute to the success of Affinity Credit Union.
Affinity is seeking directors with a broad range of strategic skills and depth of practice in leadership and governance. Potential candidates should be able to demonstrate the ability to:
- effectively represent Affinity and champion its vision, purpose and values;
- engage in constructive and open discussions, valuing a diversity of opinions and perspectives to make well informed decisions in the best interest of Affinity;
- make prudent and complex business decisions based on risk assessments and market conditions that reflect the risk appetite and values of Affinity; and
- foster a culture that promotes continuous improvement, collaboration, and innovation.
In 2025, the Board welcomes and encourages all qualified members, and is particularly interested in hearing from prospective candidates who have demonstrated experience and expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Human Resources and Compensation
- Information Technology
- Business Growth and Transformation
Affinity’s Board has identified diversity, equity and inclusion and Indigenization as essential elements in attracting high-caliber directors and maintaining a high-functioning board. In accordance with Affinity’s Board Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, the credit union believes in having diverse representation among its directors, reflecting the diversity of our members, employees, stakeholders and the communities the credit union serves. The Board continually strives for their composition to include an array of identities, abilities, backgrounds, cultures, skills, perspectives and experiences that are representative of Affinity’s current and evolving membership. For 2025, the Board is specifically encouraging director applications from Indigenous members.
