This year, the Board is particularly interested in candidates with the following:

• Change Management - candidates who have managed, or been accountable for, large change initiatives and who understand the organizational implications of preparing for and executing against change agendas.
• Information Technology with Risk Management - candidates who have academic and/or business backgrounds in information technology who can help the Board expand its understanding of the emerging area of risk and opportunity.

A number of additional skills, knowledge and abilities have also been identified. Candidates are not expected to possess a high degree of every one of these skill. The strength of a Board is in bringing a diverse set of individuals together in a team to pool their collective knowledge and experience for the benefit of the credit union.
