Are you passionate about Serve Credit Union and eager to make a difference? Here’s your chance to help shape the future of our member-owned financial cooperative! What sets credit unions apart from other financial institutions is our unique structure: we are owned and governed by our members. That means Serve Credit Union’s Board of Directors is made up of volunteers—members just like you—who are committed to serving the best interests of our members and community.

Why Join the Board? If you’re at least 18 years old, a member in good standing, and enthusiastic about Serve Credit Union’s mission, consider nominating yourself for a position on the Board of Directors. This year, we have three open positions, each serving a three-year term.

How to Apply: Our Nominating Committee, appointed by the Board, is here to guide you through the process and recruit qualified candidates. This year’s committee members are Dave Ness, Gene Haigh, and Nick Brockman.

To learn more about the role or ask questions, reach out to a Nominating Committee member or Jami Weems, Serve’s CEO, at 515-243-2677.

Ready to apply? Click the button below to access the 2025 Board Application. Applications must be submitted electronically and received by 5:00 PM on Friday, March 7, 2025.

Please note: late or incomplete applications cannot be accepted.

Next Steps: The Nominating Committee will review all applications and announce eligible candidates in March 2025, prior to the voting period. Nominations will not be accepted from the floor at the annual meeting, so be sure to apply on time.

How to Vote: Serve Credit Union members will have two options to vote:

• Online: Through a secure voting platform.

• In person: At the annual meeting.

A membership is entitled to one vote, regardless of the number of shares held.

Your voice matters. Join us in leading Serve Credit Union into an exciting future.

NO GIMMICKS in the New Year…Just Honest Rates.

It would be our pleasure to put you in the front seat with an Auto Loan rate you can trust! Apply here!

As the dealerships work hard to reduce inventory with flashy deals, and other lenders trying to lure you in with promotions and promises, remember to look at the fine print. If you are unsure if a “deal” is right for you, bring in your questions to Your Trusted Financial Partner, and we will review it with you.

Be cautious or at least aware of:

• Hidden Fees

• High Interest Rates

• Introductory Low Rates

• “Extras”& Inflated protections

Eliminate the stress and pressure of it all by exploring your financing options with Serve Credit Union before you step into the dealership. Knowing you’re pre-approved with an honest rate in hand will give you the buying confidence you need!
