Board of Directors
Meet Our Distinguished Board of Directors
As with any credit union, the people on our board of directors are unpaid volunteers. They work long hours for the greater good - to help members achieve financial wellness. We're honored to have these individuals leading the KaiPerm Northwest Credit Union cause. They help represent every member when it comes to making important, forward-thinking decisions that affect the entire credit union. If you wish to volunteer your time on one of the many credit union committees or apply for any open positions on our board, please email Maria Zarate: maria@kaipermnw.org.
