Director

What does it take to become a Director at DUCA?

Directors are guardians of DUCA’s mission: “We exist to help people do more, be more, and achieve more with their money and their lives.” Practically, this means potential Directors should own a deep commitment to DUCA as a cooperative financial banking enterprise striving to provide best-of-class Member experience in the delivery of financial products and services.

Moreover, the potential Director should own or desire to own a big vision for DUCA to make a difference using our profits for a purpose. Potential Directors have to be able to constructively and actively contribute to all Directors’ discussions in a collaborative, collegial atmosphere.

Also, each Director will have a significant amount of preparatory reading and analysis prior to Board or committee meetings that require advanced financial acumen as well as experience in corporate governance and prudential risk management. There is an expectation that the workload will be approximately 6–8 hours per week. The current annual retainer for a director role is $33,500.

The DUCA Board believes in embracing diversity and inclusion and strives to represent and reflect the broad DUCA Membership, its employees, and the people in our communities.
