The League Board of Directors

About The Board

The League's Board guides the direction the association takes on behalf of Wisconsin's credit unions and their 3.8 million members. It is composed of nine directors who represent the state by geography (five regions) and by asset size (four groups ranging from under $20M to over $500M).

Additionally, two non-voting Young Professional Advisors sit on the board and actively participate in quarterly Board meetings.  

Directors are elected for three-year terms with a nine-year term limit. Terms are staggered. Credit unions are notified about open seats on the board in mid-December, and nominations are accepted January 1 to February 15 annually.

If there is only one nominee for an open seat, the nominee is deemed elected by the League Chair by acclamation and no ballots are circulated. Otherwise, ballots are mailed to affected credit unions by March 1 and voting ends March 31.
