Board & Management

Board of Directors
           
Tri-Co is governed by a dedicated, volunteer board of directors, elected from the membership.  Each director serves a three-year term and may be re-elected.  Terms are staggered so that one third of the Board is elected each year.  The Board elects its own officers.  Duties of the Board are stipulated by the National Credit Union Administration, the federal agency that regulates credit unions.  These include:

  • Establishing policies for the operation, safety and soundness of Tri-Co that meet regulatory requirements and guidelines.
  • Determining the mission and direction of the credit union.
  • Hiring a chief executive officer to direct the operation of Tri-Co which includes hiring and staff supervision.
  • Providing for an independent supervisory committee made up of volunteers from the membership who make certain that an independent audit is conducted each year.
