Board Recruitment and Elections

Our Board looks for a broad range of skills and experience based on an overall combination of many factors including education, work experience, board experience, lived experience and training, as well as behavioural competencies and alignment to our co-operative values. All nominations must be accompanied by a completed Director Nomination & Self-Assessment Form. More information is available in the Board of Directors Nomination Package.

To be eligible and to stand for election as a Director, you must be a member of Brunswick Credit Union for at least one year prior to the date of nomination and your principal residence must be in the geographical region served by Brunswick Credit Union.

All nominations must be accompanied by a completed Director Nomination & Self-Assessment Form, a signed Nominee Declaration Form and two Member Endorsement Forms signed by members in good standing. Please review the Board of Directors Nomination Package for a comprehensive list of eligibility requirements

Directors must be prepared to attend and actively participate in regularly scheduled Board meetings, Committee meetings, and special Board meetings (as required). Meetings are scheduled at various times throughout the year including evenings, daytime, and weekends. A schedule of the 2026-2027 Brunswick CU Board and Committee meetings is included in the Board of Directors Nomination Package.

Yes, new Directors are provided with orientation training to help them understand the structure, key functions and operation of the Board, and their roles and responsibilities. Alongside internal orientation, Directors are expected to complete the Credit Union Director Achievement (CUDA®) Program. More information on training can be found in the Board of Directors Nomination Package.

Every member who is 18 years of age is entitled to vote.

Business and Organization account holders need to fill out a proxy form to identify the individual who will be voting on their behalf for the Brunswick CU Director’s Election and the Annual General Meeting. Completed forms should be returned to your nearest Brunswick Credit Union branch, or by email to info@brunswickcu.com.

Per the Brunswick Credit Union By-Laws, only one vote can be submitted by proxy or by a member on any one matter.

• If the proxy is also a member in their own right, that person is entitled to cast a second vote on their own behalf.
