Middleton, Wisc. – The American Credit Union Mortgage Association (ACUMA) seeks three new candidates to serve on its volunteer Board of Directors. The nine-member Board provides input and guidance for ACUMA, the only trade group dedicated to meeting the credit union mortgage industry’s professional development and networking needs.

Duties and Obligations of the Board of Directors

Each board member serves a three-year term. Terms are staggered to ensure a better blend of Board experience coupled with new ideas to help improve and grow the organization.

The time commitment for board members includes conference calls as needed and two in-person meetings each year, including a planning session and the Organizational Meeting held in conjunction with the Annual Conference. In addition, Board Members may also serve on standing or ad-hoc committees and participate in occasional special projects as needed.

If selected, the new board members would begin three-year terms March 1, 2026.

Who is Eligible to Serve on the Board?

To be eligible for a board position, candidates must:

• Be employed by an ACUMA member credit union or CUSO.

• Have the support of their own credit unions or CUSOs to serve on the ACUMA board.

Affiliate members, vendors, and exhibitors may not serve on the Board according to ACUMA Bylaws.
