As regulation requires, your Credit Human Board of Directors has appointed a Nominating Committee of current Directors to recruit the best-qualified candidates to represent the membership. The Nominating Committee has interviewed and vetted candidates considered to have the desired values, skills, experience and availability to serve as Directors and is hereby nominating the following candidates to fill the three (3) open Board of Director positions:

Additional Nominating Opportunities
Any member in good standing, age 18 or older, who has not been convicted of a crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust is eligible to be considered for election to the Board of Directors. Per Credit Human Bylaws, the candidate should provide what is called a Nomination by Petition that must be signed by at least 500 members, or one percent of the membership (approximately 2,500 members), whichever is less. If you would like to nominate yourself or another individual for one of the director positions, submit a Nomination by Petition packet to include:
- The last four digits of the Credit Human account number of each member who signs the petition;
- A signed statement by the nominee stating s/he is agreeable to nomination and, if elected, will serve;
- A brief statement of the nominee's qualifications, and
- Nominee's biographical data.
Nominations must be received no later than February 12, 2026, by 5:00 pm CST.
Ways to Vote
An election will be held if there are more nominees than available Board of Director positions. Should there be an election, a ballot will be sent to each credit union member on or before April 4, 2026. No matter where you are geographically located, you may cast your vote online, over the phone, or by paper. Voting begins on April 4, 2026, at 12:00 am CST and ends at 11:59 pm CST on May 4, 2026. If no nominees are submitted by petition, the three (3) candidates interviewed, vetted and selected by the Nominating Committee will be elected by general consent. Election results will be announced at the Annual Meeting, and no further nominations will be accepted from the floor at that time.
Additional Opportunities to Participate
If you are interested in volunteering to provide governance and leadership to further our mission of helping people create and maintain financial slack, especially those who are financially stressed, there may be additional opportunities to serve on committees, task forces, or to be an Associate Director. We are looking for members who are passionate about our mission and willing to volunteer roughly 10–20 hours a month preparing, attending meetings and planning sessions, and participating in our governing bodies' continued development and growth. If you have a desire to contribute your expertise and to learn more about our governance structure and what it means to be a Credit Human Volunteer, see the Contacts section below to learn more and apply.
