I am currently Chair of the Board and was elected last year for a two year term as Chair (provided I am re-elected this year to the Board). The Board has undertaken a major change in its governance model and I would like to be a part of finishing that work.

I believe in the credit union system and the co-operative principles and wish to continue contributing my time to ensuring United Communities Credit Union continues to grow and be a leader in the credit union system. This will ensure that the credit union will be able to provide excellent service to its members at reasonable prices while continuing to give back to the community.

United Communities Credit Union staff are second to none and I would like the opportunity to continue to work with them to serve our members and our communities.
