The Nominating Committee comprises of a GoWest Board Member as chair and six non-Board members.

The GoWest Board is working strategically to modernize the Board to a more manageable size post-merger integration. A number of seats were sunset by the Board on Dec. 31, 2022 and two more seats are targeted to sunset by the end of 2023.  This includes the seats that Todd Erickson, President, and CEO, CapEd Credit Union; and Greg Mills, President and CEO, Aventa Credit Union; who are both intending to serve out their current terms – therefore you will not see either of these seats addressed in this election cycle.

  • Ray Lancaster, President and CEO, Pyramid Federal Credit Union
  • Stephanie Teubner, President and CEO, Blue Federal Credit Union
