As a member-owned, cooperative financial institution, Neighbors Federal Credit Union is operated under the supervision of a voluntary Board of Directors. Each year, at the Credit Union’s Annual Business Meeting, Board Members are elected from the membership.

All members are invited to attend. Election procedures will follow guidelines set forth by the National Credit Union Administration and approved by the Board of Directors for Neighbors Federal Credit Union.

  1. The Board of Directors has appointed a Nominating Committee which will present names of candidates to be considered for election to fill expiring terms on the Board.

  2. Any member age 18 or older who is interested in being considered for election to the Board of Directors should provide a nomination by petition. There will be no nominations from the floor at the Annual Business Meeting. The election will be conducted by ballot only if nominees by petition qualify with the Secretary of the Credit Union by February 8, 2018. If a ballot election is held at the Annual Business Meeting, only members who are age 18 and older may vote. In the event there are no nominees by petition, those nominees presented by the Nominating Committee will be elected by general consent.
