Advisory Director Candidates

If you are a Pacific Service Credit Union (PSCU) member who enjoys our products, services and rates and would like to take an active role in guiding the Credit Union’s future, you should consider becoming an Advisory Director.  As an Advisory Director you will have opportunities to see the Credit Union from the inside.  You will meet credit union industry professionals who will share their expertise to assist you in enhancing the skills necessary to be an effective Director.  You will participate in the decision-making process that sets the future course for the Credit Union.  As an Advisory Director you will be among a handful of dedicated volunteers devoted to ensuring our members receive the best the Credit Union can offer.

PSCU is interested in interviewing potential candidates to voluntarily serve as Advisory Directors to its Board of Directors potentially leading to full Board positions.  Advisory Directors have the same duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors; however, Advisory Directors do not have voting authority.

• Having a satisfactory credit and reference check

Advisory Director Responsibilities:

• Represent the Credit Union at special events, as requested by the Board and accepted by the Advisory Director
