Building A Stronger Board Succession Pipeline

A Webinar on Board Succession: September 9th | 2 PM EST

The Strongest Board Member Aren't Found - They're Developed.

Every credit union eventually faces board turnover, and sometimes it’s sooner than expected. The difference is whether the next generation of volunteer leaders is prepared when those moments arise. Building that kind of pipeline takes a lot more than recruiting. The process requires meaningful opportunities for prospects to learn and grow long before a board seat opens.

At APL Federal Credit Union, that philosophy has shaped more than a decade of volunteer development. Its associate volunteer program gives future board leaders firsthand governance experience, while a newer junior associate program introduces college students to cooperative leadership years before they may be ready to serve. Together, the programs are helping APL build a stronger pipeline for the future.

In this webinar, David Woodruff, CEO at APL Federal Credit Union and Brian O'Conner, Board Treasurer at Federal Credit Union will share why the credit union invested in both programs, how they have helped strengthen its board succession pipeline, and what APL has learned about developing volunteer leaders across multiple generations.
