- Board of Directors
Moya Financial’s values are the foundation of our culture, extending to how we do business.
As a cooperative organization, we believe in social responsibility, doing business with honesty and integrity, and in complying with legal and regulatory requirements. Our Board and executive leadership team set a strong, positive tone through a values-based Code of Conduct.
Our Board has overall responsibility for the stewardship of Moya Financial and for ensuring that our credit union can successfully meet the challenges of the rapidly changing financial services industry and its growing regulatory requirements. Our Board always acts in the best interests of Moya Financial and our members. In performing its role, our Board establishes our vision, values, and strategy – making significant decisions that affect our credit union, monitoring risk and results, and regularly meeting in camera with and without management present. Directors are elected through a democratic process, with members voting in accordance with our bylaws.
