NEW YORK–Inclusiv said it is seeking “passionate, committed and thoughtful candidates” for its board.
“This is a truly unique opportunity to join the industry's leading voice for low-income designated, CDFI certified and MDI designated credit unions,” Inclusiv said in a statement. “This is a historic moment for community development credit unions. As a result, Inclusiv is experiencing a time of unprecedented growth, with over 460 member credit unions. This is the largest membership in the history of our organization! Much of this growth has been fueled the increasing number of credit unions committed to financial inclusion and racial equity. We are particularly proud of the strong interest generated in Puerto Rico, where we currently have 85 members and counting.”
The deadline for board nominations is March 15. Board elections will start on March 29 and close on May 2. Election results will be announced at Inclusiv Conference 2023 on May 3 during the Annual Business Meeting. All candidates seeking election are expected to be present at Inclusiv Conference 2023 in Memphis the organization said.
