Volunteer Opportunities
EECU was founded on the credit union philosophy of People Helping People.  As a not-for-profit organization, volunteers play important roles in our success.  Therefore, we are always looking for dedicated volunteers to help in a number of capacities.

Board of Directors

Board and Committee Volunteer Opportunities
The credit union is always seeking qualified volunteers for these key positions.  Each December, a brief, informational meeting is held for prospective nominees and committee members.  Topics covered include:  duties and responsibilities of a Board or Committee member, the time commitment expected, and the training available for each position.  In addition, a question and answer session is held to ensure that prospective volunteers understand the nature of the positions they seek.  For more information about volunteering as a Board or Committee member, please contact Debbie Eaker at (314) 298-0055 or (800) 522-6009.

Board of Directors Overview
EECU’s Board of Directors consists of seven volunteers whose main responsibilities include:  overseeing that all credit union policies are followed, establishing and monitoring the credit union’s strategic plan, and ensuring that the credit union operates in a safe and secure manner thereby keeping the members’ best interest as a top priority.

Supervisory Committee Overview
EECU’s Supervisory Committee ensures the financial well-being of the credit union as well as the prompt preparation of accounting records and reports.  This committee acts as the members’ “watchdog” and makes certain the credit union maintains its standard of excellence and that all regulations, procedures and policies governing EECU are followed.

Ambassador Club Overview
EECU Ambassadors are a select group of energetic volunteers who help distribute information and promote the credit union and its services within their school building or organization.
