Board of Directors Candidates 2025

We would like to introduce the following credit union members who have applied to run in 2025 for the 2 (two) open seats on the Board of Directors for Alpine Credit Union.

Because there were only two open positions and two incumbent candidates, we will not be holding an election this year. These candidates will be appointed by acclimation at the business meeting on Tuesday, February 25th.   

We want to thank our candidates for their interest in the success of Alpine Credit Union and wish each of them the best.

As a reminder, all members of the credit union are able to attend the business portion of the meeting at no charge. As shareholders, you can receive a report about the current financial condition of the credit union.  If you wish to participate in the dinner and prizes you must purchase a ticket prior to the date of the meeting.
