Shape STCU’s future.
Lead with purpose as a Board or Audit Committee candidate.
STCU is positioned for great things, and we’re seeking dedicated, community‑minded candidates for three positions on our Board of Directors and one position on our Audit Committee.
Why you should serve.
Being part of a credit union means being part of a member-owned not-for-profit financial institution. As a member of the board of directors, you get to help guide STCU on its path forward.
These leadership roles help guide STCU’s long‑term direction, strengthen credit union governance, and support the financial well‑being of our members.
New board or audit committee members are assigned a mentor that is currently serving.
Learn more about serving.
Join us for the STCU candidate information session where you'll learn about the board election timeline, application process, and what it means to serve on the Board or Audit Committee. You’ll also meet current Board and Audit Committee members and members of STCU’s leadership team, who will be available to answer your questions.
