Board of Directors

Credit unions like Simplicity CU are guided by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of members of the credit union and elected democratically by the rest of the membership. Because they’re not in it to make a kerbillion dollars for themselves, they make smart, impartial financial decisions that are good for everyone in the Simplicity Family.
