Want to volunteer and make a difference in your community and credit union?
Sentinel Federal Credit Union, a member owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative dedicated to serving its communities, invites you to apply for a position on the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Committee.
The Supervisory Committee is responsible for ensuring the Board of Directors and management of the Credit Union meet required financial reporting objectives and establish practices and procedures sufficient to safeguard members’ assets. The Committee ensures Sentinel FCU’s accounting records and financial reports are promptly prepared and accurately reflect operations. These reports need to confirm policies and control procedures are sufficiently safeguarded against error, conflict of interest, self-dealing, and fraud. To assist in performing the responsibilities, the Committee supervises clerical and auditing personnel.
We are seeking applicants with strong leadership skills as well as business skills in either audit, risk management, business finance, and/or legal compliance. Committee candidates must have the ability to understand and analyze financial statements, communicate with audit personnel regarding the audit function, and express opinions succinctly.
