Opportunities await Mayo Employees Federal Credit Union members who are interested in a volunteer position at the credit union. Volunteering on the Board of Directors is a great way to become involved in the "people helping people" philosophy of the Credit Union Movement.

Board members serve a three-year term, and are elected each year during the MEFCU Annual Membership meeting in March. You must be a primary member of the credit union (in good standing) for one year prior to applying for any volunteer position.

The volunteer structure is the backbone of our credit union and of the entire credit union movement. Volunteers act as the member's representative; they must always keep the member's best interest in mind. Members will elect those individuals who they feel will confidentially protect their interests and assure the future viability of the credit union. All decisions must be made with integrity and respect for all Mayo Employees Federal Credit Union members.

To Apply
