Request for Volunteers

Join Our Team! Volunteer for the Board of Directors

The Great Erie Board has created two positions of associate director to improve diversity on the Board and provide a succession program with trained, qualified candidates. 

These volunteers will serve one-year terms and attend all board meetings. They will have the same training, education, and responsibilities as elected Directors. They will contribute to discussions, offer opinions, and represent our members' interests. Their only restriction is the ability to vote on motions. 

Objectives of the Associate Director Program

• To acquire and train quality volunteers for future Board positions.
• To support the AD in understanding Great Erie's history, mission, and vision.
• To share the skills and knowledge of experienced directors and staff.
• To provide support in locating educational resources and resource people.
• To foster communication and encourage participation and confidence.
• To assist the AD in following the NCUA rules, regulations, and bylaws.
