Vibe Credit Union Associate Director Program As part of our continued commitment to leadership development and long‑term strategic sustainability, we are excited to introduce the Associate Director Program at Vibe Credit Union. This initiative is designed to identify, mentor, and prepare qualified individuals for future service on our Board of Directors.
The program will offer emerging leaders an opportunity to gain firsthand insight into board governance, credit union operations, and the strategic responsibilities of board leadership. By investing in this program, we aim to ensure Vibe Credit Union remains strong, diverse, and forward‑looking in its governance practices.
Definition of an Associate Director: An Associate Director of Vibe Credit Union is a member in good standing who has demonstrated a strong interest in actively participating in the credit union's governance.
Recruiting Process for an Associate Director
All members of the Official Family, Senior Leadership Team, and Branch Managers are encouraged to identify individuals—whether members or community leaders—within Vibe's service area who may be interested in and well‑suited for the Associate Director Program. Additionally, the Marketing Department may promote the program through the credit union newsletter or pursue other outreach efforts, as approved by the Associate Director Committee, to raise awareness and attract qualified candidates.
Becoming a Candidate for Associate Director
Invitation: A member may request participation in the Associate Director Program by submitting a letter of interest or may receive an invitation from the Associate Director Committee.
Committee Composition: The Associate Director Committee shall be composed of one representative appointed by the Board of Directors, one representative appointed by the executive management team, and additional individuals designated by the Board. Current standing members are appointed by the Chair from the Board of Directors, and CEO/President.
Application Materials and Background Check: To be considered, the member must submit a resume and volunteer application and must consent to a reasonable background check, including authorization for Vibe Credit Union to obtain a consumer report and confirmation of bondability.
Eligibility Questionnaire: All prospective candidates must complete an eligibility questionnaire as part of the application process.
Candidacy Invitation: Upon review and approval by the Associate Director Committee, a member may be formally invited to become a candidate for the Associate Director Program.
Eligibility Requirements for Candidates
The individual must be a member of Vibe Credit Union in good standing. A "member in good standing" is defined as someone who maintains at least one share account and has had no loan delinquencies—either personally or as a cosigner—within the previous 24 months.
The individual must be deemed an acceptable bonding risk by a bonding company licensed to operate in the State of Michigan.
The individual must not have been removed from any position as a director, officer, or employee of a financial institution by a federal regulator, a state regulator (excluding the Director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services), or by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The individual must not have been convicted of any crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust.
The individual must not be habitually negligent in fulfilling financial obligations to the credit union or other creditors. "Habitually negligent" is defined as having no reported delinquencies in the past 24 months, no bankruptcy filings in the past seven years, and no more than two missed payments to any creditor within any twelve‑month period.
The individual must not have been convicted by, or found in violation by, a court of competent jurisdiction or by the commissioner, of any law of the State of Michigan that is enforced or administered by the commissioner.
If an individual ceases to meet any of these eligibility requirements while serving as a Candidate or Associate Director, they shall be immediately removed from that position.
If an Associate Director fails to attend three (3) consecutive regular Board meetings, the position may be declared vacant.
Responsibilities of an Associate Director
Associate Directors are expected to review, understand, and agree to abide by the Board of Directors Responsibility Policy (established in accordance with the Michigan Credit Union Act) and to sign the Associate Director Candidate Confidentiality Agreement as well as the Volunteer Service Agreement.
Associate Directors must maintain a high level of professionalism during Board meetings, events, and other activities to which they are invited. They are encouraged to actively participate in discussions, offering insight and perspective in alignment with Vibe's vision, strategic direction, and commitment to safety and soundness. While they contribute meaningfully, they do not have voting privileges at Board of Directors meetings.
