Our Board governs our strategic direction and ensures that Kawartha is managed effectively. Special committees fulfill certain duties of the Board, and one of these is the Nominating Committee. It is the Nominating Committee’s responsibility to recruit candidates (or nominees) to ensure that Kawartha has qualified governance of our Credit Union. The Nominating Committee verifies that each nominee has the competencies required to be a Director, including audit and compliance oversight, Board and CEO performance, credit union operations, financial literacy, governance and ethics, leadership, regulatory environment, risk management oversight, and strategic planning.
The role of a credit union Director in today's environment is demanding and complex. Stakeholders (including regulators) require more from Directors than in the past, and consequently the Director's role is both rewarding and challenging.
Directors of Kawartha Credit Union are required to have a broad range of knowledge, depth of experience and support the values and focus of the organization. An honorarium is provided.
Candidates submitted their nomination papers on or before the November 30th deadline and the Nominating Committee is in the assessment/selection stage of the process to determine the best qualified candidates for the 2024 Election. The names of the candidates who will be running for election will be posted near the end of December.
Voting will be conducted through online banking (including mobile app and mobile web) from 9:00 a.m. on January 26 to 5:00 p.m. on February 9, 2024. Members may also vote in our branches (on request).
Successful candidates will be announced in February and at our Annual General Meeting on March 27, 2024. All nominees will be notified of the results prior to the Annual General Meeting.
