As a former board member of our credit union and member for 30+ years, I am very excited and enthusiastic about the possibility of returning to the Board of Directors. It is an honour and privilege to represent the members of the Credit Union, which I do not take lightly.

What can you specifically contribute to the Board?

With twenty years of board, committee & leadership experience and a former business owner I can make a positive contribution to the board. I am comfortable with new technology however also understand the importance of maintaining personal customer service, which many members prefer.
