Wright-Patt Credit Union uses a governance model where Board candidates are not running against each other. To be elected, each candidate must receive a majority of “For” votes from members.

  • Candidates receiving a majority of "For" votes are elected to the board of directors for a three-year term.
  • Candidates receiving a majority of "Withhold support" votes are not elected. That seat remains vacant until a new candidate is identified.
  • You can also vote to approve the minutes of the previous year's Annual Meeting, which helps to validate the direction of your credit union.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • As a financial cooperative owned by its members, WPCU is governed by a nine-member board of directors that oversees WPCU’s mission of helping members through life. It’s a big job with lots of responsibility …. board members are engaged in a wide range of duties including setting the vision, mission, and strategy of the credit union, selecting a president/CEO, establishing appropriate internal controls, and ensuring the credit union operates in accordance with federal and state law. Board members also have a legal and fiduciary responsibility to protect member-owned assets and ensure the credit union is financially sound with appropriate safety reserves.

    The best directors understand the credit union philosophy and have a real desire to better the financial lives of members. They possess the ability to think strategically, understand financial reporting and oversight, and can carry out their legal duties of care and loyalty to WPCU. Perhaps most importantly, they put the collective interests of WPCU members ahead of any personal ambitions and they provide expertise and experience for overseeing a complex and highly regulated financial operation. Directors spend significant time preparing for and attending meetings and regularly participate in continuing education to expand their understanding of today’s complex financial marketplace.

    Because of the depth of responsibility required of a credit union director and in order to attract qualified candidates with the experience and expertise to oversee complicated financial operations,  the Ohio Revised Code permits directors of state-chartered credit unions to receive a stipend for their service. Accordingly, WPCU directors receive a stipend of $1,200 per month for their service on behalf of members. The chair of the board receives a stipend of $1,400 per month.
