2023 Board Elections

As you probably know, credit unions are financial cooperatives owned by the members that bank with them. As an account-holder and owner at Great Basin, you have the opportunity to cast your vote and select the volunteer board of directors that oversees the credit union’s strategic initiatives.

This year, there is one position available on the Board of Directors. Below is the biographical information on the candidate certified by the Nominating Committee for your consideration for the election to the Board of Directors.

Nominations for vacancies may be made by petition and signed by at least one percent (1%) of the membership or a minimum of 221 qualifying member signatures.

Nominations by petition must be submitted no later than March 15, 2023 (postmarked by 12:00 midnight). Along with the petition, the nominees must submit a signed statement that they are agreeable to nomination and will serve if elected to office. Nominees will also need to submit a typed biography, including why they are interested in serving, their qualifications, and their education. Biographical information furnished will be printed and provided with the ballot.
