Be an Involved Member: Volunteer Opportunities at APGFCU

One thing that makes APGFCU stand out from other financial institutions is our volunteers. Giving of their time and talent, volunteers are essential to the day-to-day functioning and operation of our credit union.

For example, because we are a cooperative not-for-profit organization, APGFCU's Board of Directors are members who volunteer their time to serve. The directors are elected each year by the membership of the credit union. Not only do you as a member have the chance to vote for your board members, but you may run for the board as well. Members will often serve on committees before running for the Board of Directors. Such committees include:

• Supervisory. Member volunteers are appointed annually by the Board of Directors to independently monitor the internal controls of the credit union. The committee seeks to maintain a high level of internal control quality and to ensure that management's financial reporting objectives are met and that their practices and procedures safeguard member assets.



• Community Involvement. This committee develops proposals for the Board for ways to involve APGFCU in a meaningful and identifiable community enterprise, including consulting, volunteered time, and monetary donation.
  
  
• Credit Appeals. This committee meets with members who request a review of actions that led to their loan application denial.
  
  
• Technology. Members review the current and future needs for online electronic financial services in order to serve as a planning and advisory group to the Board of Directors.
  
  
• Volunteer Recruitment. Members recruit, interview, and recommend for selection only qualified volunteers with genuine interest and motivation who can have a positive, tangible impact on the successful achievement of APGFCU.

Volunteering for your credit union is a great way to expand your skills while helping others. Our Volunteer Achievement Program offers extensive training through self-study courses provided by CUNA (Credit Union National Association), so you are always fully prepared.

Make a contribution to the future of APGFCU by participating in these committees!
