You’re invited to consider running in our directors election
If you, or someone you know, would like to play an important part in the future of Coastal Community Credit Union and our Integris division, then we want to hear from you.
Now is your chance to submit a nomination. The Call for Nominations period runs from October 5 to November 4, 2026.
Knowledge and Expertise
Having a diverse board that represents the communities we serve and shares the vision we have for our credit union is extremely important. As a result, we encourage members with strong governance backgrounds and a commitment to our values to consider running for director regardless of their particular skill sets. Although all competencies are valuable, we would like to further strengthen our existing Board expertise in the following areas:
Legal
Relevant experience, background and knowledge as a lawyer or other legal expert preferably with knowledge of the business, commercial or financial services sectors. The candidate should have the ability to identify legal and regulatory issues relevant to a financial institution and an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework under which a BC provincially regulated credit union operates and of the responsibilities, accountabilities and liabilities of a director of a BC credit union, including the Board’s role in ensuring the credit union has sufficient policies, procedures and standards in place to comply with the credit union’s legal and regulatory obligations. The credit union engages independent legal counsel when seeking legal advice on specific issues and candidates will not be expected to provide legal advice to the Board in their capacity as a Board member.
Legislative & Regulatory
Relevant experience and knowledge such as understanding legislation and regulatory environment, policies, procedures and standards applicable to a financial institution as required to meet legal, regulatory and governance obligations, and, more specifically, such legislative and regulatory knowledge in relation to a BC provincially-regulated credit union.
Enterprise Risk Management
Relevant experience, background, and knowledge as an expert in risk management and the holistic view of enterprise risk management as demonstrated preferably in the financial services industry, or any relevant industry, and supported by relevant courses and/or risk management professional designations.
Lending Expertise (Retail & Commercial)
Relevant experience such as oversight or management of retail and commercial lending including an understanding of lending approval processes, with an emphasis on reporting, credit and geographic risks and regulatory issues surrounding lending activities as it pertains to a financial institution.
