The 2026 Board Election Process Is Underway


The Maine Credit Union League and Synergent are governed by a democratically elected Board of Directors whose function is to ensure the organizations’ initiatives serve the needs of the credit union community at large. To foster equitable representation on the Board, four seats represent geographic regions of the state, and five positions represent asset categories. 

Regional Categories (Counties) – Four Seats 

  • Region A: Aroostook, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Washington – 1 
  • Region B: Androscoggin, Franklin, Oxford, Sagadahoc, Somerset – 1 
  • Region C: Cumberland, York – 1 
  • Region D: Hancock, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Waldo – 1 

Asset Categories – Five Seats 

  • At or above the median asset size – 3 
  • Below the median asset size – 2 

In 2026, the two seats representing “Below the median asset size” credit unions are up for election. If your credit union falls below the median asset size and you are interested in pursuing one of these Board seats, please complete this Intent to Run form to be considered. Only eligible credit unions appear in the dropdown.  

A candidate questionnaire is also included in the form. The candidates’ answers will be shared with voting presidents prior to distribution of the electronic ballot—that way they can make well-informed decisions. 

If you intend to run, please complete the form by the end of the day on February 20. 

Once the candidates have been confirmed by the Nominating Committee, electronic ballots will be sent to credit union CEOs (in Maine only) representing the “Below the median asset size” category. The election results will be finalized and communicated at least 30 days before the League’s Annual Meeting in June.
