Voting opens to elect SASCU Directors

SALMON ARM (March 20, 2024) — Voting for the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union Board of Directors Election will open on April 2nd and run until April 13th.

There are three seats available on the SASCU Board of Directors this year, with five Candidates in the running: Riley Boudreau, Steven DeBoer, Dawn Dunlop, Caroline Grover, and Darlene McBain. Each Candidate brings unique skills and competencies. Voting will take place both online via online banking and in-branch. Incorporated businesses and non-profit associations will be required vote in branch by paper ballot. Voting eligibility, candidate profiles including videos, and answers to common questions can all be found at www.sascu.com/election or by visiting any branch.

The role of the Board is to provide strategic guidance and direction to the management of the Credit Union on behalf of the members, who are the owners of the financial cooperative. Each director has a responsibility to ensure sound governance and risk management practices.

“One of the things that makes being a credit union member unique is that we elect our own Board of Directors and they all live right here in the Shuswap,” said Dave Witt, Board Chair. “I encourage every member to take advantage of this opportunity and cast their vote.”

The elected Candidates will be announced at this year's Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM will be held Tuesday, May 7th at 11:30 a.m. at the Prestige.
